'All Things Must Pass' is a documentary that explores the rise and fall of Tower Records, and its legacy forged by its rebellious founder, Russ Solomon.

In the late Spring of 1970, nationwide protests against the war in Vietnam focused in the Wall Street area of New York City and ultimately in a major anti-war demonstration in Washington, D.C. A group of New York University film students documented the demonstrations as they happened in both cities. Later, in New York, the massive amount of black and white and color 16mm footage was edited into this important record of the day by day events. The extended final scene, shot by Edward Summer in a hotel room in Washington, D.C., is a spontaneous conversation among Martin Scorsese, Harvey Keitel, Jay Cocks and Verna Bloom who, along with a large group of NYU students, found themselves frustrated and perplexed by the events and hopeful that the protests would result in change.

The moment Ferid boarded that bus, his nightmarish journey into the mountains of Eastern Bosnia began. Few Bosnian Muslims who set foot on those buses were ever seen again. The bus took its passengers to the Paklenik Pit, located deep within the forest. The horror unfolded as Ferid watched his comrades being lined up on the pit's ominous edge. Men were shot one by one, disappearing into the black hole that became their final resting place. Ferid would be the only man to make it out of those woods alive. Ferid seized an opportunity to escape, but knew he must find refuge before he was hunted down. Only one woman stepped forward to take the ultimate risk and save his life. That woman was Mina.
