Inspired by a true story, Blinded by the Light fol

Inspired by a true story, Blinded by the Light follows the story of Javed, 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.⁠

This is why the @barbadosfilmfest loves to partner with @slowfoodbarbados ✔ What do you get when you combine an evening of sustainably sourced bites, a critically acclaimed comedy, all tied together by a strong passion to change the world?
It's our 3rd CineCuisine event this Wednesday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's not often that we need to work this hard to convince someone to come to Barbados, however, Benedikt was concerned about his carbon footprint and rightfully so. Flying from Iceland to Barbados requires numerous flights over thousands of miles!
#BIFF2020 is offsetting his carbon footprint, and that of his partner, by planting 12 trees in Barbados at Walker's Reserve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀⁠
As an environmentally conscious film festival, BIFF is also planting trees to offset the footprint of every international guest. We are very excited to welcome Benedikt as our guest on Wednesday! .
