Documentary examining obscure early-70s Detroit folk-singer Sixto Rodriguez, whose two albums flopped everywhere but in South Africa, where they became an underground (and above-ground) phenomenon. Flick follows the hijinx of South African fans sifting through myth and record-company shenanigans to "find" the singer, while you at home do too. That's the cool thing about this.

D-Dad and I watched this on On Demand this evening, based largely on the recommendations of this thread.
