Searching for Sugar Man is an incredibly unlikely story. It's a tale of what-could-have-beens. Rodriguez is a musician from Detroit of immense songwriting talent and a good voice to go with it. He released an album in the late 60s that did not do well in the United States. Unbeknownst to him, his music was the soundtrack of a generation of Afrikaaners. On the other end, the Afrikaaners knew little about Rodriguez, just that his music spoke to them. Rodriguez has been living a normal life out of the spotlight. The documentary is one-part history, one-part investigation, one-part revelation, and all parts humanity itself.
