In the early 1970s, Sixto Rodriguez was a Detroit folksinger who had a short-lived recording career with only two well received but non-selling albums. Unknown to Rodriguez, his musical story continued in South Africa where he became a pop music icon and inspiration for generations. Long rumored there to be dead by suicide, a few fans in the 1990s decided to seek out the truth of their hero's fate. What follows is a bizarrely heartening story in which they found far more in their quest than they ever hoped, while a Detroit construction laborer discovered that his lost artistic dreams came true after all.

THIS MOVIE CHANGED MY LIFE
Oh man. I saw this movie a few weeks ago now and I'm still thinking about it. I could write and write but instead just watch it for yourself. Listen to the music, soak up the many messages for life and then do something, anything, do it well, do your best and feel great in this alone.
Amazing. I'm sure I will watch and experience this movie many more times before I die. A work of art in so many ways.
Rant or Rave: Rave
Pros: One of those life affirming stories Cons: want to know more about this guy.
