The film will feature interviews with mum Janis Winehouse, unseen family footage and BBC archive content.
Janis has multiple sclerosis, a brain condition which can lead to memory loss, and hopes by taking part she will leave a record of a different side to her daughter.
Janis said: “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.”
