Factory: Manchester from Joy Division...
...to Happy Mondays
In a dark, northern city in the late 70s, five dreamers built a record label - Factory; three classic bands - Joy Division, New Order and Happy Mondays, and Britain's first super club - The Hacienda.
Led by Tony Wilson, they created a unique collision between conceptual art and street music. This is the story of how a TV presenter, an out of work actor, an art student, a DJ and an aspiring record producer pioneered Britain's independent pop culture, imagined a new Manchester, and blew a shed-load of money.
Produced and directed by Chris Rodley in the last three months and featuring an extensive interview with Factory's creative genius, Anthony Wilson, who sadly died on Friday, August 10, 2007, this 90 documentary celebrates the triumph, tragedy and human comedy that was Factory and is a fitting tribute to Wilson's contribution to British pop culture and to Manchester. This programme contains very strong language. [S]
