I'd also recommend viewing Joy Division: Interviews, featuring interviews with ex-Joy Division members and key players like Tony Wilson, Peter Saville, Anton Corbijn, Annik Honore, and others close to Curtis and the Joy Division family.

Video #2: Ex-manager Terry Mason talks about being asked about Ian Curtis' death and discusses early Joy Division shows.
Video #3: Bernard Sumner talks about synthesizers and how Ian Curtis introduced him to the music of Kraftwerk. Anton Corbijn reveals Unknown Pleasures inspired him to leave Holland.
Video #4: Bernard Sumner discusses some of his experience with auditioning drummers, and Tony Wilson talks about the Hacienda.
Video #5: Bernard Sumner discusses the meaning of "The Eternal," plus some Joy Division touring stories
Video #6: Peter Saville on Joy Division imagery, the design of Joy Division's cover art, plus the addition of Gillian Gilbert after the death of Ian Curtis
Video #7: Peter Hook talks about Ian Curtis' epilepsy and how the band members never questioned the idea of continuing after Curtis' death.
Video #8: A discussion of punk music and scene.
Finally, take a listen to both Joy Division Peel Sessions. Both sessions were recorded in 1979
Peel Session #1 recorded January 1979
Peel Session #2 recorded November, 1979
FYI, the Joy Divison Peel Sessions were released as separate eps, then later were compiled on one disc.
