24.01.2022 *Staff Pick* Searching for Sugar Man is the almost unbelievable story of Detroit singer songwriter Rodriguez, who disappeared into obscurity after two albums failed to sell in America. Unbeknown to the artist, his music became a phenomenon in apartheid South Africa. The documentary follows the quest of a few devout fans to find the enigmatic Rodriguez. This documentary won an Oscar, definitely worth a watch.... Searching for Sugar Man is available on Beamafilm.
