Coming Soon: Minding the Gap
[link removed]
Bing Liu's debut film is a coming-of-age saga of three skateboarding friends in their Rust Belt hometown. In his quest to understand why he and his friends all ran away from home when they were younger, Bing follows 23-year-old Zack as he becomes a father and 17-year-old Keire as he gets his first job. While navigating a complex relationship between his camera and his friends, Bing explores the gap between fathers and sons, between discipline and domestic abuse and ultimately that precarious chasm between childhood and becoming an adult.

Minding the Gap ([link removed]) first showed on POV on February 18, 2019 as part of the series' 31st season. The film was nominated for an Academy Award, a primetime Emmy nomination and won a Peabody award and 'Best Feature' at the 2018 IDA Awards. Minding the Gap makes its encore broadcasts on Monday, August 9th at 10pm on PBS (check local listings ([link removed]) ) and streaming at pov.org.
