The rise and fall of factory records. Heres what the documentary covers Documentary
- Joy Division forming
- Stupid mistakes they did that lead to Ian's Curtis suicide like how they made them play a concert one day after his attempted suicide. His Epilepsy getting worse and it wasn't till he died that they deciphered his lyrics and missed all the clues that he was troubled.
- A pre-famous U2's Bono being unintentionally pompous telling Factory Record owner Tony Wilson a say after Ian Curtis death that U2 will try to keep the spirit of Joy Division in U2's name and that he will only be the second best lead singer in the world since Ian is #1. That was how egotisitcal Bono was
- New Order's Blue Monday single was losing the company money despite it being one of england's highest selling single
- Tony Wilson's encounter with Morrisey about how weird he was that his bedroom was covered with James Dean posters, how they almost got the Smiths to sign with them and then at the last minute backed out on signing the band because Factory Record's at the time was in a slump so Wilson didn't want to drag the Smiths potential down by signing with them
- when a very green Madonna was booed offstage at Factory records' Hacienda club. She being upset about and didn't sign with Factory Record
- The company closing because they were spending too much money on the Hacienda club

Could also throw in the film they made about Factory Records
