OUT on VOD: Naz & Maalik

African-American, Muslim teenagers Naz & Maalik are best friends, classmates, and lovers. 

As the two closeted gay teens go about their regular daily routine on a Friday afternoon in Brooklyn - from visiting their local Mosque to selling lotto tickets on the streets - they arouse the suspicions of an undercover FBI agent who begins to track them. 

This complicated tale of race, religion, sexuality, and undercover surveillance is an original look into the lives of an underrepresented community, and what it means to be young and disenfranchised in New York City.
