The next meeting of the TPC Movie Club will take place on Tuesday, February 9th when the group will discuss “Blinded by the Light.” It’s the joyful true story of a Pakistani teen in 1980s England who, faced with economic hardship and racial prejudice, discovers the music of Bruce Springsteen, and through Bruce, the inspiration to find his own voice as a writer.
What the critics say: “Like a life-affirming rock anthem, Blinded by the Light hits familiar chords with confidence and flair, building to a conclusion that leaves audiences cheering for an encore.”
The film is rated PG-13, is free to watch for Cinemax subscribers, and can be rented or purchased through most major streaming services.
