Review from the comment
Wow. Searching for Sugar Man lets us know that even in today's information age, there are some stories that fly under our radars. This is a story of Rodriguez, a musician and master song writer of the early 70's who would release two critically acclaimed albums that were absolute flops commercially except in....South Africa? Yes, South Africa, a country wrapped in apartheid where progressives used Rodriguez's anti-establishment themes to become the soundtrack of their own movement.
Searching for Sugar Man follows the search for the elusive Rodriguez, whose fate after his music failures was largely unknown. Its captivating and inspiring and not to be missed.
