Amy Winehouse: the documentary "Reclaiming Amy" premieres on Sky – Photos and trailer

Fifteen years after the death of Amy Winehouse, Sky Arte presents the premiere of the documentary "Amy Winehouse – Anima ribelle", airing on 22 July at 9:15 pm and also available to stream on NOW and On Demand. Produced by the BBC, the film traces the life of the British artist through the testimony of the people who were closest to her. For the first time, her mother Janis Winehouse speaks in depth about her relationship with her daughter, with the aim of offering a more authentic portrait of the singer and dispelling some of the narratives that have shaped her public image over the years.

Living with multiple sclerosis, a disease that threatens to compromise her memories, Janis embarks on a journey into the past together with Amy's closest friends – Naomi, Chantelle, Catriona and Michael – who appear on camera for the first time. Through their accounts, a complex, brilliant and energetic personality emerges, far removed from the stereotypes that have long surrounded her image.
The documentary also follows the family's journey through grief. Janis reopens, for the first time, the storage unit where her daughter's personal belongings were kept, bringing to light objects, memories and fragments of her private life. The aim is to remember Amy not only as an extraordinary artist, but also as a woman capable of radiating joy, wit and vitality.

The film also features Mitch Winehouse, Janis's ex-husband and the singer's father, who addresses head-on the criticism he has received over the years and describes the support that family and friends tried to offer Amy during her long battle with addiction. The documentary also traces her rapid rise to fame, the weight of media pressure and personal tragedies, such as the loss of her grandmother, challenging the idea that her problems could simply be traced back to a difficult childhood or her parents' divorce. It also delves into her addictions and mental health struggles, painting a far more complex picture than the one that emerged publicly.

Enriched with never-before-seen home videos and rare live performances, "Amy Winehouse – Anima ribelle" offers an intimate, personal portrait of one of the most influential artists in British music, presenting a fresh perspective on her life, her relationships and the artistic legacy she continues to leave behind.
