"Searching for Sugar Man" is an amazing true story and the creators of this film are master storytellers, delivering a powerful plot progression that starts you off with a "hypothesis", leads you through their research, and leads to the epic discovery of a man that everyone in South Africa thought was dead.

To have this musician's story played out for you, thinking he is dead until the moment of their realization, and then, to have this musician be apart of the film through interviews and footage of his return to music, makes for one of the most memorable music documentaries I've ever witnessed.

It's a tale that is both heartbreaking and uplifting, with a man that truly deserves recognition but is content living an average life.
