Soundbreaking: Stories From the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music, the eight-part music documentary that began in 2016 on PBS, has been described by The Hollywood Reporter as a "don't-miss" documentary. The review goes on to call the series "riveting" and offers high praise for this project brought to life by MSK, Higher Ground, and Show of Force.

One of the key participants in production was MSK Partner and WCL alum Eric Schwartz (WCL ’84), who helped lead the firm's Motion Picture, Television & Music Transactions team in advising on all aspects of the production, distribution, and financing of the series for over eight years. MSK Partner Jim Guerra served as an Executive Producer of the series, and Eric Schwartz served as Chief Production Counsel as well.
