Amy Winehouse’s image is known around the world. She was the north London girl with a unique voice and look, who became hugely successful seemingly overnight, and whose private life the press became obsessed by. She died in 2011, aged just 27.

This documentary throws a unique lens onto an extraordinary life, focusing on ten defining photographs - from iconic shots to private snaps – with the stories behind them revealed by those who were there and those who knew her best, including her parents and close friends.
