Bruce Springsteen Denounces Trump Era Hatred At Biopic Premiere

Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at the New York Film Festival screening of his biopic "Deliver Me from Nowhere," performing an acoustic version of "Land of Hope and Dreams" and delivering a message about the dangerous times America faces under President Donald Trump's administration. The film, directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book, chronicles the making of Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska" and highlights his personal journey, with Jeremy Allen White portraying Springsteen. Springsteen emphasized his lifelong role as a musical ambassador, striving to bridge the gap between American ideals and reality, and rejected narratives of fear, divisiveness, and hatred, affirming that America remains a land worth fighting for. Trump has criticized Springsteen and other artists who oppose him, but Springsteen continues to use his platform to advocate for hope and unity. Accompanying the film's release, Springsteen plans to issue an expanded box set of "Nebraska" featuring previously unreleased material and a remastered version of the album. The film is set to be released in U.S. cinemas on October 24, 2025.
