Searching for Sugarman

Oh boy is this a good movie. Maybe I'll only watch documentaries from now on. So it's about this guy Rodriguez, a folk singer from Detroit who made two amazing albums in the early 70s but disappeared because no one bought them. No one bought them in AMERICA ("The Place That Matters!") but apparently everyone in South Africa did, and he got huge there but never knew it. Hijinx ensue, courtesy of some awesome and very sweet South African music nerds, and the rest of the story is more compelling and wonderful than the last 18 CGI mess blockbusters I've seen all put together.

Searching for Sugarman!
