News reports are building a picture of the tragic story, the family have confirmed the news but no cause of death has been released yet. Searching for Sugar Man is an essential film and Twitter is filling up with sad stories of how nice Bendjelloul was, as well as tributes to his talent.
Here’s our interview with the director and the subject of his best-known work which took place in July 2012 and has become one of our most watched interviews.
I loved Director Malik Bendjelloul and followed all his interviews on Sugarman Rodriguez. I am in shock of his death. I send love to his family. I know Rodriguez is also very sad of the terrible news. “Vaya con Dios”
RIP
