Inspired by Rodriquez’s huge popularity in their country and intrigued by the artist’s mysterious background, 2 white South Africans who began freelance investigations of his career within the mid-90s eventually combined resources in their quest to be told a lot of concerning their musical hero. Like several of their generation, record retailer Stephen “Sugar” Segerman and music journalist Craig Bartholemew were huge fans of Rodriquez’s music, although very little was known of his life or career -- actually, he was rumored to possess died during a tragic on-stage suicide.

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.
