Synopsis

Written by music journalist Jon Savage, this richly layered documentary shot and directed by Gee is a fond, far-reaching portrait of the influential post-punk band and the city that spawned it. Boasting an amazing array of rarely and never-before-seen live footage and audio recordings plus unprecedented pre-CONTROL interviews with the remaining band members, the late Tony Wilson, Peter Saville, Manchester music denizens, singer Genesis P.Orridge (Throbbing Gristle) and Annik Honoré, it traces the roots and rise of the band and the huge influence that Joy Division still wields today.
