The clip opens in a dim studio where Jeremy Allen White’s Springsteen takes one of his first takes of “Born in the U.S.A.” stripped of its arena polish, the performance bordering confession and defiance. As the tape rolls, the weight of expectation presses in—from his manager, from the label, and from the memories of a working-class boy in New Jersey. Surrounded by silence, the sound of one voice and one guitar becomes a revolt against spectacle. The film dives into how ambition, pain, and cultural moment collide in the making of a song that would become myth.
