Recently, Moss has been speaking about her new role as the face of Mango and her relationship with Johnny Depp, including the launch of her new book, Kate: The Kate Moss Book.

Although there is no news on when the documentary will be hitting the big screen, cameras have been currently following Moss as she promotes her book and works on auctioning off prints next year. We can only hope that there will be a little modeling in there, too.
