From 20th Century Studios, “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe. Filming took place in Asbury Park, Bayonne, Chatham, Denville, East Rutherford, Freehold, Harding, Jersey City, Montague, Montclair, Mountain Lakes, Newark, Orange, Rahway, Rockaway and Roseland.
