Y-LOVE, THE MOVIE (WORLD PREMIERE)
There’s a telling moment, midway through “Y-Love” — a new documentary named for its subject, the boundary-breaking black Orthodox Jewish rapper — in which the artist contemplates his public and private identities. Yitz Jordan, he explains, is the regular person. Y-Love is the hip-hop sensation: all attitude, swagger and undeniable stage presence. This documentary paints a poignant portrait of a perennial outsider: a Black, Jewish, gay orphan searching for a home.
Directed by Caleb Heller
