Soleil Moon Frye's Documentary on Carter Family Challenges

A new documentary titled 'The Carters: Hurts to Love You,' directed by Soleil Moon Frye, explores the challenges faced by the Carter family, including mental health, addiction, and familial loss. Premiering April 15 on Paramount+, the film provides an intimate look at the pressures faced by Aaron and Nick Carter, spotlighting the impact of early fame and dysfunctional family dynamics. Narrated primarily by Aaron's twin sister, Angel Carter, the documentary features archival footage and personal interviews, revealing the emotional struggles and resilience of the family. The Carters' family history includes the tragic deaths of three siblings, Aaron, Leslie, and Bobbie Jean, and their father, Robert, all of whom suffered from addiction-related issues. Jane Carter, the mother, declined to participate in the documentary, which also highlights Angel's efforts to break the cycle of generational trauma for her family. Director Frye's personal connection to the story, having been a child star herself, adds a layer of empathy and understanding to the project.
