Searching for Sugar Man

Just more than a year ago, my husband and I were at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah for the première of Searching for Sugar Man... I blogged about it here and here. The documentary (directed by Malik Bendjelloul) is based on my husband, Craig Bartholomew-Strydom's 1997 article about 'finding' musician Sixto Rodriguez. So much has happened since that snowy January. The film has just won the Oscar for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. We are beside ourselves...
