Joy Division
In 1976 four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester went to see the Sex Pistols. They formed a band named after the prostitution ring in Nazi concentration camps. Cheerful stuff - three years later it was a matter of art, life and death. Now thirty years on, they are enjoying a larger audience and more influence than ever before with a profound legacy that resonates fiercely in today's heavily careerist music industry and over-mediated pop culture. The definitive Joy Division documentary.
