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

It’s All Gonna Break pulls back the curtain on the raw, unfiltered moments that led to the rise of Broken Social Scene, the beloved indie collective that shaped the sound of the early 2000s. From beer-soaked Toronto bars to festival stages across North America and Europe, this documentary immerses audiences in the energy, chaos, and creativity that fueled one of Canada’s most influential bands.

Told through the lens of filmmaker Stephen Chung, who was just a young artist capturing his friends making music, partying, and living in the moment, this never-before-seen archival footage reveals how a tight-knit group of musicians, lovers, and dreamers unwittingly built a worldwide phenomenon. At the heart of the film is the making of their breakthrough album, You Forgot It In People—a record that redefined indie music and became a cornerstone of the genre.

More than just a behind-the-scenes look, It’s All Gonna Break is a story of friendship, ambition, and the messy, beautiful process of creating something truly lasting. It’s about how art is made, how it’s protected, how relationships evolve—and what happens when a group of friends suddenly finds themselves at the center of a movement. Because at some point, we all have to grow up. But first, we make music. 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.
