Review of Searching for Sugar Man (2012) by Phil R — 10 Feb 2013

A fascinating documentary about a failed musician whose music finds itself a vast audience in South Africa and helped with the revolution and change within the country. The film starts out as a sort of "unsolved" mystery type of investigation of this musician, rumored to have committed suicide but in reality is living anonymously in Detroit oblivious to the popularity of his music in another part of the world.

Then it turns into this rather beautiful, moving statement on the power of music and art and of course second chances. His music is pretty darn good too.
