Blinded By The Light Blu-Ray

Blinded by the Light (2019) follows Javed Khan, a British-Pakistani teenager living in Luton, England, during 1987. Directed by Gurinder Chadha and starring Viveik Kalra, the film is based on journalist Sarfraz Manzoor’s memoir about his life growing up under economic hardship and rising racism during Margaret Thatcher’s era. Javed struggles with his domineering father Malik’s traditional expectations while pursuing his passion for writing poetry. When classmate Roops introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen, Javed discovers the rock star’s lyrics speak directly to his own experiences as a working-class son of immigrants. Inspired by Springsteen’s words, Javed finds the courage to pursue his dreams of becoming a writer, develop a relationship with activist classmate Eliza, and ultimately reconcile his identity between his Pakistani heritage and British upbringing.
