Overview
Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock 'n' roller, Rodriguez. The film won Best Documentary at the 85th Academy Awards.
This was a tale that I had never heard and that I doubt many others had either. A singer from Detroit was unknown anywhere other than South Africa, where he had become a star. The beginning and the end of this documentary really shine.
