Searching for Sugar Man is a movie directed by a Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul. The low-budget film tells the story of two South Africans searching for their music hero, 1970s American singer Sixto Rodriguez. Bootleg copies of the singer's album Cold Fact had been an unofficial soundtrack to youth protests against apartheid in the 70s and 80s, but it was believed the singer had died in a bizarre onstage accident. He was eventually found in Detroit, working on a building site, and persuaded to play a series of triumphant gigs in South Africa, where he was treated like a hero. Although the budget of the movie was very low, it went on to make $3.6m (£2.7m) at the US box office. Searching for Sugar Man won the Oscar and Bafta prizes for best documentary in 2013.
