Saving Amy

Amy Winehouse shot into the public eye with her crazy big hair, ultra thick black eyeliner, and the soulful voice of yesterday's Motown greats. But her amazing success—including five Grammy(r) wins—has been overshadowed by her turbulent relationship with the media and her very open battles with addiction. Through exclusive interviews, personal recollections, and private diaries, Saving Amynot only looks unflinchingly at the inner demons driving—and perhaps destroying—an extraordinary talent, but at the struggles of the whole Winehouse family to adjust to Amy's tempestuous success.
