It's safe to say that 2013 is the year of One Direction. Going Our Way, a recent documentary about the band, tells the story of their astonishing rise to stardom. Not to be confused with One Direction: This Is Us (the new film directed by Morgan Spurlock), Going Our Way looks at how five wide-eyed young boys, who took to the X-Factor stage in 2010 as separate acts, found themselves thrust together by judge and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger to become arguably the world’s biggest boy band of today. With gossip from music insiders, journalists and celebrity fans the documentary shows you how One Direction have become a pop phenomenon and taken the world by storm. The film also skims over the short-lived romance between the band’s pretty boy Harry Styles and singer Taylor Swift, who is also well known for emotive bubble gum pop. The Midas touch of One Direction managed to boost her career too. Going Our Way tells the band’s story in under an hour, highlighting most of the significant points in their career. It’s suitable for people who have never even heard of them but will also appeal to the hard-core Directioner. The DVD is available on Amazon.
