SUMMARY:Film and Mind Online: "Blinded by the Light"
DESCRIPTION:-- Join NCP as we take our Film and Mind series online! --\n
 \n** This free event will take place online and is not for credit.\n\n 
  \n\n-- --\n\n (2019, USA)\n\nYou are certain to enjoy the movie Blin
 ded by the Light and you will likely tune up your cross-cultural psycho
 therapy skills from our program with its discussion. Blinded By the Ligh
 t— based on a true story — showcases Bruce Springsteen’s music as 
 the driving force in the life of a 1980s teenager in a London suburb. Ja
 ved, the son of Pakistani immigrants, is 16 and feeling very stuck in a 
 small town where the local racists are keen to shut down its one mosque.
  An aspiring poet and lyricist, he is intimate with Springsteen-esque c
 onditions: of being tired and bored with himself, of wanting to change h
 is clothes and hair and face, of asserting that he’s a man and not a b
 oy, and of believing in the promised land. Among other things, the movie
  is an astute statement on the tensions within an immigrant family, the 
 push of the younger generation to assimilate, and the fears of the older
 , traditional generation of loss of their culture. The film captures bo
 th the grittiness of Javed’s short life and the exhilaration he feels�
 �with his experience of Bruce Springsteen and his music.\n\nSchedule\n\n
