Joy Division changed the face of music.

Godfathers of the enduring alternative scene, they reinvented rock in the post-punk era, creating a sound dark, hypnotic, intense that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead and many others. This is the rollercoaster story of Joy Division the friendships, fights, fall-outs; the rehearsals and recording sessions; the larger than life characters told by the bands legendary bassist, Peter Hook.
