A començaments dels anys 70, Sixto Rodríguez era un cantautor de Detroit amb una breu carrera discogràfica de dos àlbums, ben rebuts per la crítica però ignorats pel públic. Mentre sobrevivia fent feines diverses, Rodríguez no era conscient que a Sud-àfrica s'havia convertit en una icona musical i en un símbol de la resistència antiapartheid. Als anys 90, malgrat el rumor que el cantant s'havia suïcidat, un petit grup d'admiradors sud-africans va començar a investigar la seva vida. Aquest documental, guanyador d'un Oscar, és la història d'una recerca impossible que va canviar la vida d'unes persones a banda i banda de l'Atlàntic, i també és la història d'un somni fet realitat.

The wild and woolly early days of New York -- when it was still known as New Amsterdam -- provide the backdrop for this period musical-comedy. In 1650, Peter Stuyvesant (Charles Coburn) arrives in New Amsterdam to assume his duties as governor. Stuyvesant is hardly the fun-loving type, and one of his first official acts is to call for the death of Brom Broeck (Nelson Eddy), a newspaper publisher well-known for his fearless exposes of police and government corruption. However, Broeck hasn't done anything that would justify the death penalty, so Stuyvesant waits (without much patience) for Broeck to step out of line. Broeck is romancing a beautiful woman named Tina Tienhoven (Constance Dowling), whose sister Ulda (Shelley Winters) happens to be dating his best friend, Ten Pin (Johnnie "Scat" Davis). After Stuyvesant's men toss Broeck in jail on a trumped-up charge, Stuyvesant sets his sights on winning Tina's affections.
