A chronological account of the influential late 1970s English rock band. The film zeros in on the dynamic formation and growth of this seminal band, and particularly the increasing struggles of fated lead-singer, Ian Curtis.

Those with only a basic knowledge of the role Joy Division played in the renewal of both the post-punk music scene and in Manchester as a city going through drastic changes will find this an enlightening documentary.

There are testimonies from all remaining band members, and well-balanced range of contributors commenting on everything from the Manchester scene to the band's music, to the all-important image and design, and on the cultural influences behind the band's unique style.

WHY YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM: A chance to experience one of the greatest bands in British musical history and hear the testimonies of those that were there.
