SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN
"Truth is stranger than fiction," doesn't come close to describing this remarkable story about a Detroit musician named Rodriguez. In the 70s, Rodriguez was touted as the urban Dylan by critics but his record sales went nowhere and he faded into obscurity. Rumors of a gruesome death circulated. Then a bootleg copy of his record made its way to South Africa to a Pretoria record store, getting radio play. Soon he became more famous than Elvis and The Beatles and his antiestablishment music became the anthem for the antiapartheid movement. The mystery of how Rodriguez died and what happened to all of the profits from his album sales became an obsession of two fans. They picked up on the word, "Dearborn" in one of his songs and began searching for this iconic musician, overcoming many obstacles until they uncover a shocking revelation that sets off a wild chain of events. SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN is a story of hope, inspiration, and the resonating power of music.
