All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records
Established 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 one billion dollars. 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 is a feature documentary examining this iconic company's explosive trajectory, tragic demise, and legacy forged by its rebellious founder, Russ Solomon.

“This movie makes you appreciate anew the one-on-one social dimension lost in the music industry's headlong switch to digital downloads.”
— Andy Webster, New York Times
