Amy Winehouse documentary to be lesson for Thai delinquents
BANGKOK: Social workers in Thailand think the sad story of the late musician Amy Winehouse can be a lesson to wayward youth, so they are treating about 100 of them to a movie about her.
Winehouse, bedeviled by addictions to drug and drink before her death in 2011 at the age of 27, was the subject of a well-received documentary this year, "Amy."
The Thai Health Promotion Foundation and the Stop Drink Network arranged for nearly 100 boys from a juvenile detention center, together with dozens of university students and members of various youth groups, to watch the film on Wednesday, saying they hope it inspires them to overcome their own problems.
