Documentary Film Description „Searching For A Sugar Man”


Documentary „Searching for a Sugar Man”.


In 1997 two Rodriguez fans started an investigation on what happened to this singer and song writer and this is how this documentary came to life. Action takes place in 1970, where a Mexican-American singer-songwriter called Sixto Rodriguez released an album called "Cold Fact", a collection of poetic and socially engaged songs that he had been singing around bars and dives of Detroit, Michigan – songs like "Sugar Man", about drugs. This documentary opens an unexpected window on the secret history of white South Africa by telling the story of a musician's death and it was created to find out whether the rumours about the death of an American musician named Rodriguez was true, and if not, to discover what had happened to him.
