A new documentary, 'Amy Winehouse & Me: Dionne’s Story', will honour the late singer Amy Winehouse on the 10th anniversary of her death, MTV International has announced. The 60-minute film is told through the eyes of Winehouse’s goddaughter, singer Dionne Bromfield, and features never-before-seen archival footage of the pair together.
Bromfield described the project as therapeutic, saying it allowed her to finally move forward into the next chapter of her career after dealing with buried emotions. She hopes the documentary will showcase Winehouse as more than just a person struggling with addiction, but as the amazing person her godmother was.
Kerry Taylor, international EVP for MTV Entertainment Group, said Winehouse was a true icon with raw talent and musical ingenuity that inspired artists and fans worldwide. MTV gave her a global stage during her career, and Taylor expressed honour in working with Bromfield to share her story and spotlight Winehouse’s legacy.
The Grammy Award-winning singer died of alcohol poisoning on July 23, 2011. The documentary, produced by Andy Mundy-Castle of Doc Hearts, will air in 180 countries outside the US on the anniversary, and on Paramount+ in Australia, Canada, Latin America and the Nordics later this summer. It was commissioned by Taylor and Craig Orr, who executive produces alongside Iestyn Barker.
