Searching For Sugar Man by Swede Malik Bendjelloul tells the incredible story of the American singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who, forgotten in the United States, discovers he is the most popular singer in South Africa, where his songs became the symbol of the anti Apartheid revolution. 

Starting with its world premiere during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Grand Jury Prize, Searching For Sugar Man has been given over twenty international awards, including a BAFTA Award, Directors Guild Award, Writers Guild Award, America Cinema Editors and IDFA Award as best musical documentary.
