DESCRIPTION:Israeli rapper Naf (short for the biblical name Naftali) lived a life of 
 security with his ultra-orthodox family until the age of 14, when he cut 
 his hair and declared himself secular. Considering Naf to be a negative 
 influence on his siblings, his father beat him and banished him from the 
 house. When director Moshe Alafi introduces us to Naf, he is 16 years old, 
 homeless in Jerusalem, and is already a survivor of violence, drug 
 addiction, and sexual assault. We follow Naf for two and a half years as he 
 struggles to survive without a job, a family or a permanent place to live. 
 But NAF – A STREET KID is more a portrait of a fighter than of a victim. 
 Spitting his raw, anger-laced rhymes to whomever will listen, Naf spends 
 most of his time doggedly advocating for his own artistic work, taking on 
 the city council as a representative of Jerusalem’s homeless youth, and 
 in court—fighting back against the man who sexually abused him.\n\nSet to 
 a soundtrack comprised solely of Naf’s rough freestyle and studio 
 recordings and enhanced by Alfani’s frenetic handheld shots of the city 
 at night, NAF – A STREET KID presents a rare and uncensored glimpse into 
 a youth underworld rife with violence and uncertainty. The documentary also 
 provides a window into the deep divisions between religious and secular 
 life in contemporary Israeli society.\n
