AMY

THE EVENT

From the award winning team behind acclaimed documentary SENNA, comes this insightful and moving portrait of iconic singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse. A pop star with soul; Amy’s rare musical ability made her a star, while her chaotic personal life stole headlines. With rare interviews and never-before-seen archival footage, AMY takes us behind the headlines to reveal a prodigiously talented young woman whose life ended far too soon. With this film, the world will fall in love with the real Amy Winehouse and her music all over again.

Asif grew up in our part of London and has become an international force in documentary making, winning the Oscar for best documentary in 2016. He fsays:  “This is a film about Amy and her writing,”  “People didn’t realise how important her lyrics were and how personal they were.”

“Just putting her lyrics on the screen lets people know that they might have danced to that song and maybe didn’t realise how personal the content really was.”
