Reclaiming Amy will include access to never-before-seen personal archive of Amy from the family and treasures from the BBC archives.
The film will be a powerful and sensitive account of one of Britain’s best-loved and greatly-missed musical talents, offering a new female-driven interpretation of her life, her loves and her legacy.
Amy’s life will be celebrated across the BBC with a selection of content and musical performances across television, iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
Who will feature in the documentary?
Amy’s story will be told primarily through her mum, whose version of events often differs from the narrative we have been told before.
Janis lives with Multiple Sclerosis, a condition which threatens to strip her of her memories of Amy, and is a large part of her motivation to make this timely and personal documentary.

Janis will be aided by family, friends and those who knew Amy best to piece together the side of Amy rarely seen.
She told the BBC: “I don't feel the world knew the true Amy, the one that I brought up.
"I’m looking forward to the opportunity to offer an understanding of her roots and a deeper insight into the real Amy.”
