Naf – A Street Kid is the shocking and revealing documentation of one homeless boy's life in the streets of Jerusalem over a two and a half year period. The hero of this drama is 18 year-old Naf (short for Naftali Javetz), aged 18, who has lived in the streets from the age of 14, who has been raped, stabbed, has smoked soft drugs and been arrested and tried for dealing drugs.

As if all that were not enough for one boy, he has conducted battles for street youth, fought in the courts to bring the man who assaulted him to judgment, and finally insisted on fulfilling his dream -- to become a rapper, to perform and to become famous.

Charismatic, deceptive and charming, with a thousand faces and hairdos, Naf personifies the mutable character needed to survive. One minute he is manipulative, a tireless consumer of attention, and the next he is exceptionally candid. But for a boy who has grown up on the streets, constant change is simply reality.
