Directed by Gurinder Chadha ("Bend It Like Beckham"), Blinded By The Light is based on the memoir by Sarfraz Manzoor and tells his story of a Pakistani British teenager growing up in the drab suburb of Luton, England in the 1980’s and his dreams of escaping. One day, a school friend introduces him to Bruce Springsteen’s music and it changes his life - Bruce Springsteen’s music and words inspire him to find his path, follow his dreams and become the successful journalist he is today.
