The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Amy Winehouse: Documentaries Disapproved by Band and Family
Amy: The Girl Behind The Name is one of the most anticipated documentaries of the year thus far, set to shed light on the light and mindset of Amy Winehouse, one of the millennium's brightest rising stars before dying of alcohol poisoning during 2011.
