A documentary using rare archive footage and more recent interviews to build up a picture of a scene that four young men, hoping to escape their suburban hell, unwittingly found themselves pioneering. The tragedy of Ian Curtis is a central theme. The remaining band members give testimony, as does Annik Honoré. Ian’s wife Deborah is absent, but her words are used when necessary. Fans of Joy Division will find a candid and honest recollection of a time and a place that changed musical history forever. It's respectful, but doesn't shy away from the harsh truths.
