En 1976, quatre jeunes hommes issus de la post-industrielle Manchester se rendent à un concert des Sex Pistols. Fortement inspirés par ce show auquel ils ont assisté, ils décident de monter un groupe, Joy Division. Près de 30 ans plus tard, malgré une tragédie qui les a arrêtés dans leur élan, Joy Division connaît un succès et une influence plus grande que jamais. Leur héritage résonne tout particulièrement dans une industrie musicale actuelle carriériste et une culture pop surmédiatisée. Grâce à des interviews des membres survivants du groupe, aujourd'hui réunis sous le nom de New Order, et à des archives inédites, Joy Division se fait la chronique d'un changement social et politique en Angleterre et nous entraîne dans l'histoire de ces quatre hommes, qui ont transcendé les barrières économiques et culturelles pour produire une musique atemporelle.

On y retrouve le jeune Maurice Martenot, alors télégraphiste, qui en 1918 imagine un instrument capable de transformer les particules électriques en ondes musicales. Une décennie plus tard, en 1928 à Paris, l'instrument est breveté, les ondes Martenot font leur entrée à l'Opéra . L'histoire prend alors son envol... nous suivons dans ce film l'évolution des ondes musicales et de ses protagonistes. À travers l'engagement de ces derniers, les compositions dédiées, les arrangements spéciaux, se dresse un regard sur la place qu'a occupé et occupe encore cet instrument dans le lien évolutif entre la musique, les arts, la science, les technologies et la sensibilité humaine.

The opening of the movie features footage from the New York press conference, held at Allen Klein's ABKCO offices five days before the concerts, during which Harrison and Ravi Shankar discuss the upcoming shows. Harrison is asked by a reporter: "With all the enormous problems in the world, how did you happen to choose this one to do something about?" "Because I was asked by a friend if I would help, you know – that's all," is his reply.

As most of those who follow the Rastafarian faith do, Snoop decided to go through a transformation into his new self; his new, Rastafarian self. Reincarnated documents Snoop Dogg’s transition into Snoop Lion, which involved him taking a trip to Jamaica to make a reggae album and discover more about the Rastafarian faith. The documentary starts out by exploring Snoop’s past; his time on Death Row Records, the loss of his friends Tupac and Nate Dogg, and the murder accusation. The focus then shifts to his spiritual journey and new style of music. While in Jamaica, Snoop collaborated with a few famous reggae artists, including Bunny Wailer and Diplo, to create the Reincarnated (album), which focuses on love and nonviolence. Wailer was Snoop’s guide throughout the trip, leading him through his journey into Rastafarianism. The film includes many intimate moments with Snoop, where he discusses his personal thoughts and reasons for becoming Rasta. The documentary also includes the heavy marijuana smoking in which Snoop participated, which is a common practice among Rastafarians, and a common stereotype of how they practice their faith as well.

À l'origine, il s'agissait d'un projet de télévisions européennes prévoyant de filmer Pink Floyd interprétant certains de ses morceaux dans l'univers minéral de Pompéi et du Vésuve. La première version sortie en salle dure 60 minutes, et on n'y voit que les scènes de Pompéi et Paris. Cette version contenait une introduction ressemblant à Echoes avec de l'air, un sifflement et un petit air de guitare joué par David Gilmour.
