2012's Searching for Sugar Man is a documentary about 2 South Africans who try to find out what happened to their musical hero, 1970's American folk singer Rodriquez.
Whoooo? Never heard of him. Why should I watch an hour and a half documentary about someone I never heard of? And a type of music I'm not too fond of, for that matter??
These are the questions I was asking myself when I hit the play button. And believe me, I did have my doubts - even through much of the first third, or so, of the movie.
But it gets more and more interesting and entertaining as it goes. And by the time it ended...
I don't want to give anything away. But WOW!
This is a real "Power of Music" story! And a must-rent!
