Slow Century is a two-disc DVD retrospective of the band Pavement filmed and compiled by filmmaker Lance Bangs. The first disc contains Slow Century itself, a 90-minute documentary with extensive interviews with the band members (as well as their friend Thurston Moore) and considerable live concert footage from across their career featuring throughout; indeed, the film concludes with the encore from their final live show, held in London in 1999. There is also a presentation subtitled Cinema Stars (written using a star symbol rather than the word "star") featuring all their videos, as well as alternate and rejected clips for three songs. Interspersed throughout are brief clips from home movies, television appearances and behind-the-scenes footage. The second disc is entirely composed of live footage with a full concert from Seattle, Washington (July 1999) and edited highlights from the group's second last ever show in Manchester (11/1999). Across the two discs, there is a total of six hours of footage. There is band member and director commentary on each video and multiple angles on the second disc, and it is presented in Dolby stereo.

À la fin des années 1960, Sixto Rodriguez enregistre deux albums de chansons réalistes (édités par Sussex Records), proches par l'esprit d'un Bob Dylan. Ces disques, dont le premier, Cold Facts, contient le single Sugar Man, sont reçus favorablement par la critique mais n'obtiennent aucun succès public. Rodriguez est donc contraint de poursuivre son métier d'ouvrier-maçon. Mais, de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, en Afrique du Sud, sous le régime de l'apartheid, ses disques rencontrent un grand succès auprès de la jeunesse, en particulier blanche. Le paradoxe d'un musicien, point prophète en son pays, et qui, sans le savoir, devient une idole dans une autre contrée. Le film suit l'enquête de deux fans du Cap sur la disparition supposée du chanteur. Toutefois, « loin de dissiper ce mystère, le film l'alimente plutôt ».
