Amy Winehouse's Father To Make New Doco On Late Singer

Just months after Amy Winehouse's father threatened legal action over the documentary of the late singer, Amy, Mitch Winehouse has announced he will be making an alternative film "to tell the truth about Amy's life".

Appearing on British TV talk show Loose Women, Winehouse vocalised his distaste for the documentary and for the way in which it was filmed. 

"Anybody who was involved with Amy in the last three years of her life are not in the film," Winehouse said.

"What I say is misrepresented. I say that Amy didn't need to go to rehab, right? What I actually said was, referring to 2005, Amy didn't need to go to rehab at that point. Later on was a different story altogether, which gives a totally, completely different meaning to what I said."

Winehouse has openly criticized the documentary's director Asif Kapadia for portraying him poorly in the film.. 

"My grandson, who is nine months old, is gonna look at this…and he's gonna say, 'Granddad, what were you doing?' If I went to see this film, and I didn't know what was happening, I'd also have a dim view of me. That's my point. It's not true."

"This nonsense about Amy being left alone for the last three years of her life is incredibly insulting…she had a lovely boyfriend, she had wonderful friends…they're not in the film, they don’t have a voice."

Winehouse went on to announce that he is developing a new film about his daughter alongside British director Reg Traviss: "I'm telling you now, we're making an alternative film, and we're gonna invite everybody who has spoken on the other film."

"We're not gonna edit it in the way they've edited me."

Meanwhile, it was reported last week that Amy Winehouse's unreleased demos had been destroyed by her music label for moral reasons.
