Recognized as one of the most unique vocalists of the 21st century, Winehouse's music shattered popularity records and gained her millions of fans worldwide. Regrettably, her transformation from a promising teenage talent to a woman plagued with addictions played out very publicly.

Her ongoing issues with alcohol and drugs were a significant part of her sensational career. Despite this, fans held out hope that she might conquer her demons and abandon her hazardous lifestyle. Attempts at rehab and living a normal life were made, though these were unsuccessful.

Amy Winehouse's life tragically ended on July 23, 2011, in her own home. Empty vodka bottles found in her bedroom pointed to the cause. An autopsy revealed an alarmingly high level of alcohol in her blood at the time of her death — over four per mil (0.4%).

"Back to Black" aims to shed light on Winehouse's remarkable talent, originality, and authenticity, qualities that pervaded every aspect of her life. The film traces her journey from London's vibrant Camden High Street in the 90s to international fame, highlighting the steep price paid for such rapid success.

As an artist, Amy Winehouse was a significant figure in the 21st century, selling over 30 million records worldwide. Her songs continue to generate more than 80 million streams per month. Her highly acclaimed second album, "Back to Black" (2006), catapulted her onto the global stage, earning her five Grammy Awards, including the Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the hit single "Rehab".
