Enjoyable romp through the music industry

The enjoyable 24 Hour Party People follows the story of Tony Wilson, the man who spearheaded names like Joy Division (later to become New Order), groups which are still held as influences to today’s musicians.

Mixing frenetic plot with a vérité slant, we see the punk and rave movements evolve through the admirably hard-working, but ultimately self-defeating, energy with which Wilson built Factory Records.
