Win Tickets to Searching for Sugar Man
Win tickets to see the incredible, heart-warming documentary about the mysterious disappearance of cult musician.
The incredible and heart-warming music doco Searching for Sugar Man, directed by Malik Bendjelloul, follows the mysterious story behind a '60s musician simply known as 'Rodriguez'. Likened to artists like Bob Dylan for his soulful melodies and powerful lyrics, the Mexico-born musician was relatively unknown in America. Sixto Rodriguez, who was discovered by celebrated music producers in a Detroit bar, sold only six copies of his record Cold Fact in the US. However, in South Africa - nearly 10 years after his record flopped at home - a bootleg copy of Cold Fact quickly became a hit, an anti-establishment anthem for a country suffering under apartheid regime.
Rumoured to have committed suicide on stage, Rodriguez vanished without a trace, unaware of his affect on fans in South Africa. Decades later, two fans set out to find out what happened to the obscure artist whose music resonated with them as they were growing up in riotous South Africa. What they uncover is an extraordinary story that has has impressed critics and audiences worldwide, including winning Special Jury Prize and an audience award at Sundance Film Festival.
