Reportedly made with the blessing of family members, Back to Black will provide a never-before-seen look into Amy’s early life and rise to fame. The film follows her as she writes and records her groundbreaking studio album ‘Back to Black.’

The official synopsis for the film reads, “A journey that took her from the craziness and colour of ’90s Camden High Street to global adoration – and back again, Back to Black crashes through the looking glass of celebrity to watch this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, to feel what she felt.”

“Told from Amy’s perspective, the film is an unapologetic look at the woman behind the phenomenon and the relationship that inspired one of the most legendary albums of all time.”
