BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

DOCUMENTARY @Silicon_Cowboys Trailer & Opening Date. How COMPAQ Took On IBM

The film is scheduled to open nationwide in 12 markets and on demand nationally on all platforms on September 16. Back in the day, most of us had a Compaq computer as our first portable PC. This is the true story of the three young men who created COMPAQ computers as an idea formed in a little restaurant to give computer giant IBM a run for their money. SILICON COWBOYS explores the remarkable story of Compaq’s rise and eventual demise - an unlikely upstart who altered the future of computing and helped shape the world as we know it today. Directed by Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Cohen, the film offers an insider's look into the explosive rise of the 1980's PC industry and is a refreshing alternative to the familiar narratives of Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg.
