Directed by Colin Hanks and written by Steven Leckart, the 2015 documentary All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records charts the life of the renowned international record store empire.

TowerRecords1_optEstablished in 1960, Tower Records was once a retail powerhouse with two hundred stores, in thirty countries, on five continents. From humble beginnings in a small-town drugstore, Tower Records eventually became the heart and soul of the music world, and a powerful force in the music industry. In 1999, Tower Records made $1 billion. In 2006, the company filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong? Everyone thinks they know what killed Tower Records: The Internet. But that’s not the story. “All Things Must Pass” examines the iconic company’s explosive trajectory, tragic demise, and legacy forged by its rebellious founder Russ Solomon.

A festival favorite (it’s played a bunch of them, including South  by Southwest and the Seattle Interntional Film Fest), All Things Must Pass is unrated.
