Cinemom Screening: Searching for Sugar Man

eventdetail

Cinemom screenings are special parent-baby movie shows on Friday afternoons. The movie a 14 Pews will be specially adapted for this purpose. One ticket grants entry to two seats (one adult, one baby), the lights will be kept on dim rather than totally out so that you can still find toys, the volume will not be as loud and there will be a space to feed and change your child.

Searching for Sugar Man tells the incredible true story of Rodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was. Discovered in a Detroit bar in the late '60s by two celebrated producers struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, they recorded an album that they believed would secure his reputation as the greatest recording artist of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide.

But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, he became a phenomenon. The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez.
