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.

Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht The film paints a picture of a band like no other, as well as the bygone Toronto scene, with familiar faces like Peaches and Leslie Feist popping up. May 30, 2025 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat It’s All Gonna Break is a labor of love that simply doesn’t know how to share the devotion with the uninitiated. Rated: 6/10 May 28, 2025 Full Review Louis Roberts Loud and Clear Reviews what is evidently foremost in the filmmaker’s mind is reconnecting with the vast community of musicians, friends and fans of Broken Social Scene, who will all surely love it. Rated: 3/5 May 26, 2025 Full Review Ian Gormely Exclaim! Like the band's career, the film really takes off with You Forgot It in People. Rated: 8/10 Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Stephen Chung’s decades in the making documentary It’s All Gonna Break has a tough task ahead of it and a unique approach to the standard music doc template.
