Searching for Sugar Man at Whirled Cinema

Rodriguez is discovered in a Detroit bar in the late 60s by two producers struck by his prophetic lyrics. They record an album believing it will make him the recording artist of his generation, but it bombs, and the singer disappears into obscurity amid rumours of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording finds its way into apartheid South Africa, its anti-establishment message connects with the people, and, over the next two decades, it becomes a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their mysterious hero.
