Joy Division - the Grant Gee-helmed documentary about the seminal Manchester band - will be released on DVD on August 25 via Universal Pictures UK.

Says the PR verbiage:

"Joy Division is one of the last true stories in pop. The account of four young men from hopeless, post-indus­trial Manchester and their rise to become one of the most seminal music acts of all time is a story beyond comprehension in today’s music industry."

A trailer for Gee's film - the man's past credits include Radiohead's Meeting People Is Easy film and Oasis' Familiar To Millions - can be watched below.
