searching for Sugarman

This outstanding documentary revives the story of Sixto Rodriguez, an obscure American folksinger whose mix of rock, psychedelia and folk appealed to white liberal South Africans in search of escape from the hated apartheid laws. A fascinating study of the transitory nature of fame and fashion.
