Searching for Sugarman

R.I.P. RODRIGUEZ

The incredible, fairy-tale story of a star who shouldn't be one, a genius musician whose time had not yet come.
Sixto Rodriguez ... Never heard of him? Yet the Mexican-born singer-songwriter was once more celebrated than Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley - but only in South Africa. Here, his album "Cold Fact" became the soundtrack of the anti-apartheid movement in the 1970s. In Rodriguez's homeland, however, the United States, no one knew of his fame, not even he himself. One day, two South African fans set out to find their idol, around whom there are many rumors, especially about his supposed suicide... SEARCHING FOR SUGAR is a cinematic and musical journey that leaves no one cold.
