Film club under the blue sky!
Malik Bendjelloul''s first film about the Detroit-born singer-songwriter, Sixto Rodriguez is like a tale.
How Rodriguez became the icon of the anti-apartheid movement? He really set himself on fire? You will know everything!
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.
