The Carpenters were one of the biggest selling pop artists of the 1970s, but what seemed on the surface as the perfect, wholesome brother and sister duo hid a destructive and complex truth that was unknown to the world.
Featuring behind the scenes footage, interviews with brother Richard, family and friends, this film traces the story that ended in tragedy with sister Karens untimely death, aged just 32.
