Javed, a British teen of Pakistani descent, is growing up in England in 1987. Amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times, he writes poetry as a means to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the inflexibility of his traditional father. But when he is introduced to the music of 'the Boss,' Javed sees parallels to his working-class life in Springsteen's powerful lyrics.

Based on the book "Greetings form Bury Park: race, religion and rock 'n' roll" by Sarfraz Manzoor. Originally produced as a motion picture in 2019. Wide screen. Special feature: making-of featurette.
