Sarfraz Manzoor: Blinded by the Light
  • West End

It was the feel-good film of the year - the unlikely story of how a Pakistani boy from Luton was inspired to change his life by the music of Bruce Springsteen. 'Blinded by the Light' delighted audiences around the world and Sarfraz Manzoor, the real-life inspiration behind the film, will share his true story how he went from being a fan of Bruce Springsteen to having Bruce give his personal blessing to Sarfraz's film. Join Sarfraz and guests as he takes you on a journey from Bury Park, Luton, to Asbury Park, New Jersey, revealing the incredible true story that inspired his acclaimed film. Sarfraz Manzoor is the inspiration and co-writer of the 'Blinded by the Light', the film adapted from his memoir 'Greetings from Bury Park'. He is also a prominent journalist, documentary maker, and broadcaster. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram @sarfrazmanzoor

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
