She was a singing legend, so it's no surprise that another film is being made about Amy Winehouse, to mark a decade since her death.

Amy Winehouse: 10 Years On 

is set to look at Winehouse's life with the people who were closest to her.

The creators of the film say it will be “shining a light on parts of her life that have, to date, not been heard about”.

Winehouse’s mother, Janis, will be featuring for the most part. It's said her perspective “often differs from the narrative we have been told before”.

Janis will also share never-before-seen footage from the family's archives.

She said: “I don’t feel the world knew the true Amy, the one that I brought up, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to offer an understanding of her roots and a deeper insight into the real Amy."

Friends and family will also contribute to the film.

It's also being described as a “female-driven interpretation of her life, her loves and her legacy.”

Executive Producer for Curious Films, Dov Freedman, said in a statement: “Amy was a true musical icon, and we couldn’t be prouder to help those closest to Amy reclaim her story, 10 years after her death.”

The new film comessix years after the Academy Award-winning documentary  Mitch criticised the previous film for the way he was shown. 

He said at the time he would be making a new film, but as yet it hasn't started production.
