The story of Amy Winehouse in her own words, featuring unseen archival footage and unheard tracks, as well as some of her most succesasful hits.
An absorbing documentary on the life and death of Amy Winehouse, including footage of her as a young girl, with her family and friends, coping with fame, the highs and lows of her personal life and her incredible talent. It also documents her troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle.
This fly-on-the wall documentary has the film-maker up close and personal with Amy, her family and friends as her popularity rises as her success spirals. With a great sound track (what else?) and shots of her at her best and worst, "Amy" portrays the artist as as an extremely talented young person whose roots, family and friends cannot save her from a life of fame that controlled her.
