Lovely heart warming doco about the singer Rodriguez who was a cult singer in Australia in the 80s - I had his albums - and huge in South Africa, at least amongst the liberal white community. The rumour was he was dead but in fact he was working away in Detroit, in construction!
It's hard not to be moved hearing his daughters talk about his life, realising how loved he was in South Africa. The 1998 concert is very moving.
This is a Gen X movie in many ways - obsession with artists who mean so much, tracking them down, finding they're alive, cheering. Did I see Rodgriguez sign some woman's chest?
The director of this committed suicide in 2014.
