Program Description

Event Details

Javed is a Pakistani teenager who experiences racial and economic turmoil while living in Luton, England, in 1987. He writes poetry as a way to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the stubborn views of his traditional father. When a classmate introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteeen, Javed sees parallels between the singer's powerful lyrics and his own working-class environment. Springsteen's melodies soon inspire Javed to find his own voice and follow his dreams.

Doors open at 5:45 p.m. for free popcorn and refreshments! Children under age 9 must be accompanied by an adult. Call the Information Desk (847-428-3661) with any questions.
