20 SXSW Films You Need To Know About

8. All Things Must Pass

All Things Must Pass Tower Records
Company Name

Another documentary, but this one a little more mainstream: Colin Hanks (son of Tom, star of the Fargo TV show) is behind the camera for this look at the rise and fall of Tower Records. It began as one of the US's biggest music store chains, before totally collapsing in on itself.

There's a slew of big names interviewed but the real star is Tower founder Russell Solomon, an eccentric music fan who included cocaine on his staff's expenses list.
