In 1987, during the austere days of Thatcher’s Britain, Javed is a Pakistani teenager who experiences racial and economic turmoil while living in Luton, England. He writes poetry as a way to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the stubborn views of his traditional father. But when a classmate introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen, Javed sees parallels between the singer’s powerful lyrics and his own working-class environment. Springsteen’s melodies soon inspire him to learn to live life, understand his family, and find his own voice. PG-13
