We think we know all about Nick and the late Aaron Carter. But we don’t. Do you know who does? Aaron’s twin sister, Angel, and she teamed up with Soleil Moon Frye and Paramount+ to tell The Carters truths.
“This documentary is a labor of love for my family,” said Angel. “By sharing our true story – one shaped by loss, resilience, and healing – I hope to honor our journey and transform our past into a message of hope and purpose for others facing similar challenges.”
The Carters follows bona fide American teen heartthrobs Nick and Aaron, who seemed to have it all, but behind their remarkable gifts was a family dealing with mental health struggles, drug addiction, and heartbreaking neglect. Their story is told by Aaron’s twin sister, Angel, who unpacks the complicated family dynamics that led to the untimely deaths of three of the original five Carter kids, as well as their father. Fame and fortune were accompanied by rivalries, jealousies, and exploitation from those they relied on most, their parents.
The two-part documentary will include interviews with people who have not talked about the brothers before, and they will give us a better insight into who they are/were. Along with that, we will see never-before-seen home movies that detail the brothers’ rise to fame and the devastating toll it took on their family.
After the ID documentary Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter, it will be interesting to hear from someone who knows the family better than anyone else, someone who is in the family.
The Carters will stream later this year.
