The real-life story of writer, journalist Sarfraz Mansoor, it tells the story of a young Pakistani immigrant to London who faces racism and finds comfort in the music of Bruce Springsteen which he feels talks directly to him. Javed is a writer, a poet but his father is not interested in such luxuries - he advises his son to follow any Jews in his class. Javed does well to actually meet the Boss and also manages to reconcile with his family. In real life, Sarfraz Mansoor, attended 150 concerts of Bruce Springsteen!
Filled with the 80s music - Pet Shop Boys, Aha and of course Bruce Springsteen - it was a good move to play the lyrics on the background so we could really appreciate the power of Springsteen's writing - Born in the USA, Born to Run, The River, Thunder Road and of course Blinded by the Light. Loved watching.
