I enjoyed the film a lot. I was inspired by the humility of this man, Sixto Rodriguez and by his philosopy toward life and art. An added bonus was getting to visit parts of the world where I have not yet been; the beautiful coastline of Cape Town, South Africa and the gritty streets of Detroit, Michigan. Another bonus was being able to understand the situation of apartheid from the white perspective, a little better. Though this film is not about apartheid, apartheid is definitely wrapped up in the story. This film came along for me shortly after having viewed "Come Back Africa", a film about apartheid through the experiences of black South Africans.
If you get an opportunity to see this film, I hope you take it.

Really interesting.
Thank you, Pat and Denise ;-)
I'd have to look for it on DVD, Penny. If and when I get to watch it, I'll let you know, OK? Hugs Jo
