Amy
Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees
(128 minutes; R)

British singer Amy Winehouse, a six-time Grammy® winner who died at the age of 27 in 2011 from the cumulative effects of substance abuse, had a turbulent life after her powerful singing voice was discovered and she was propelled to fame. Her strong personality, complicated marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil and love-hate relationship with the press are reflected in her music.

The screenings are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in partnership with the National Archives.
