It’s All Going to Break

dir. Stephen Chung, 90 minutes

Imagine being a fly on the wall at the birth of a musical movement that would change indie rock forever.

In early 2000’s in Toronto, a group of young creative musicians collectively known as, Broken Social Scene, got together and soon became a worldwide phenomenon. IT’S ALL GONNA BREAK is an electrifying and intimate documentary about the indie rock that redefined the sound of a generation. Filmmaker and longtime friend Stephen Chung was there from the beginning, capturing the chaos, creativity, and camaraderie that fueled their rise and caught on camera the making of the iconic “You Forgot It In People.” With never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews with Kevin Drew, Leslie Feist, Brendan Canning, Emily Haines, Amy Millan, and more, the film traces the band’s evolution from raw basement jams to global stages like Lollapalooza and The Late Show with David Letterman. 

A love letter to independent music, IT’S ALL GONNA BREAK is a vibrant time capsule of a pre-digital era and a moving reflection on friendship, art, and the freedom to create on your own terms.
