That Tony Wilson (2002)
A portrait of Tony Wilson the visionary, provocateur, and self-styled cultural revolutionary who put Manchester on the world map. From his days as a Granada TV presenter to founding Factory Records and the legendary Haçienda nightclub, Wilson reshaped a post-industrial city into a global capital of music and style. Loved and loathed in equal measure, Wilson’s story is told here through candid interviews, archive footage, and reflections from friends, critics, and collaborators. Pretentious? Perhaps. Unforgettable? Absolutely.
Director: Ged Clarke
