My Daughter Amy
My Daughter Amy – A powerful extract from Mitch Winehouse’s very personal behind the scenes doc about how his talented daughter’s addiction has affected him and Amy’s family; and how they tried to support her into recovery. This edit focuses on his meeting with addiction therapist Sarah Graham and her working on his denial around Amy’s cross addiction to alcohol. In it Sarah – who is a recovering addict herself- explains how addiction works in the brain; and why it’s vital that families and loved ones educate themselves about this life-threatening illness.
