( CNN ) A documentary on the life of late singer Amy Winehouse will be released in Britain on July 3 , just weeks before the fourth anniversary of her death , the film 's production company says . `` Amy '' seeks to `` truly capture not just the great artist that she was , but also the funny and loving person that most people did n't get a chance to know , '' the filmmakers said on Facebook after announcing the film in 2013 . It will feature `` extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks , '' Deadline reported Wednesday . No U.S. release date has been set , Deadline reported . Despite releasing just two albums before her death of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27 on July 23 , 2011 , the British singer 's smoky voice and songwriting won widespread acclaim and six Grammy Awards . `` Amy '' follows a poorly received biopic , `` Fallen Star , '' released in 2013 . The film was not authorized by the family and , unlike `` Amy , '' featured none of the star 's music . Winehouse 's father , Mitch Winehouse , called that film `` rubbish . '' The team behind the new film includes Asif Kapadia , who directed the documentary `` Senna , '' on the life of Brazilian Formula 1 racer Ayrton Senna . The film won two BAFTA awards . The Winehouse family said in a 2013 statement that it was behind Kapadia 's take on the singer 's life . `` The award-winning producers of Senna presented a vision that would look at Amy 's story sensitively , honestly and without sensationalising her , '' the family statement said . `` We want this to be a tribute to her musical legacy .
