Rodriguez

Born: 1942-07-10

A once promising singer-songwriter whose first two albums were a flop in the United States, Rodriguez quickly fades into obscurity. Unbeknownst to him, a cult following of his music develops among young Afrikaners in the 1970s who rebel against the cultural oppression and isolation of Apartheid. His amazing story was the subject of the Oscar winning documentary, "Searching for Sugarman."
