This extraordinary debut from documentarian Bing Liu weaves a story of skateboarding, friendship, and fathers and sons into a coming-of-age journey of courageous vulnerabiIity. Over the course of severaI years and with his camera always at the ready, Liu records the rocky paths into aduIthood of Keire and Zack, two friends from his own skateboarding community in Rockford, lllinois. As he does so, deeper paraIIels gradualIy emerge that ultimately draw the fiImmaker into a heartrending confrontation with his own past. With an eye for images of exhilarating poetry and a keen emotionaI sensitivity, Minding the Gap is a powerfully cathartic portrait of fIedgIing Iives forged in trauma and fighting to break free.
