We all remember that moment, where music inspires us and feeds our soul. Music has the way to reach in, kick start our hearts and give us the inspiration for our passions. Blinded by the Light hits theaters next week and tells the story of Javed, a Pakistani teen living in England in the 80’s who is struggling to find his place in the world, his voice and his direction for the future.

The writers I admire make a difference. They tell the world what they need to hear

Ms. Clay

While studying for his A levels, Javed is introduced to the music of Bruce Springsteen – well after his main popularity has waned. But the music speaks to him, and talks directly to where he is in his life. An aspiring writer, Javed feels the lyrics deeply and uses them to find himself, find the strength inside him and his own inspiration.

The movie follows Javed through his journey as it parallels with the hard times his family is going through with the unemployment crisis of the 80’s paired with the racial tensions in the area. It takes a great sensitivity to what was happening in the region and how it impacted the Pakistani population in England.
