JUNCTION 48 (2016)

Junction 48 Poster 14.jpg

Inspired by true events in the life of rapper Tamer Nafar, Junction 48 is the love story of Kareem and Manar, two young Palestinian musicians from a crime-ridden 'hood in Lyd, an impoverished city of both Arabs and Jews just 20 minutes away from Tel Aviv. 
Kareem leads an aimless life between office work, brothels, and his drug-dealing friends. His parents, politically conscious musicians, are constantly disappointed by his choices in life. After his father is killed in a car crash, his mother has a spiritual awakening and becomes a Qur'anic healer. 
The turmoil throws Kareem deep into the world of gangs, love, hip-hop, and a journey to seek normality against all odds.
