Q&A with Tom Atencio, co-producer and New Order’s North American manager

This fantastic new documentary is a perfect complement to Control, the recent fictionalized account of the life of Ian Curtis and his band Joy Division. In 1976 after attending a Sex Pistols concert, four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester founded Joy Division. Though the group achieved only modest success during their career, they have proven to be one of the most inventive and influential bands of their era. Featuring interviews with surviving band members, the film examines their story through never-before-seen live performance footage, personal photos and newly discovered audio tapes.
