The Hacienda - The Club That Shook Britain

The story of Manchester鈥檚 Hacienda nightclub, including interviews with famous regulars, including Noel Gallagher. This is the story of a dance revolution that changed Britain forever.

The story of Manchester鈥檚 iconic Hacienda nightclub and music venue, 40 years after it opened, mixing insightful testimony from Peter Hook and Stephen Morris (members of New Order, the legendary band that funded it) with stories from famous regulars like Noel Gallagher and Shaun Ryder.

The film hears from those who ran it in its heyday and ordinary people whose lives were changed forever by the Hacienda. Newly discovered archive footage reveals the radical origins of the club, as well as the music and madcap stories behind it. Iconic and infamous performances build up to the story of acid house, the youth movement that transformed a generation and changed Britain forever.

This is the incredible true story of a revolution that rose up from within the walls of a former warehouse in central Manchester.
