SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN (2012)

SPONSORED BY: LATINO OUTREACH COUNCIL

This music documentary still remains as a captivating tale about the best singer-songwriter you’ve never heard of. An Oscar-winning documentary that tells the remarkable story about a man by the name of Sixto Rodriquez. Rodriquez, the child of a Mexican immigrant with working class parents in Detroit, had the voice and songwriting skills of Bob Dylan but his albums failed to sell in the United States in the 1970s. Little did he know know that he was in fact a cultural phenomenon, in South Africa. Two South African record store owners go on a quest to get to the bottom of what happened to their musical hero.

NOT AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY.
