Investigation Discovery has set a Tuesday, December 16, 2025 premiere date for The Secrets We Bury, which delves into a family’s decades-long quest for details on their father’s disappearance. The documentary will premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival before its debut on ID.
ID offers this description: “In the early 1960s, George Carroll walked out on his family, leaving his wife, Dorothy, and their four children behind. Decades later, the Carroll siblings are still left haunted by what happened to their father. Seeking much-needed closure for himself and his family, The Secrets We Bury follows Mike Carroll as he unravels the mystery of his father’s disappearance and uncovers a story much darker and more complex than his family could have imagined.
Told through extensive sit-down interviews with the Carroll siblings and layered with intimate archival footage of the Carroll family spanning decades of their lives, the documentary offers a sensitive look into one family’s journey to find closure. Part mystery and part family drama, The Secrets We Bury raises important questions about whose stories we choose to believe and why.”
Pyramid Productions produced the documentary for Investigation Discovery.
“The Secrets We Bury is an intimate exploration of memory, family, and the lasting impact of generational trauma. By bravely sharing their story, the Carroll family reveals how the past, no matter how deeply buried, always has a way of resurfacing,” stated Jason Sarlanis, President of Investigation Discovery.
