1061 - Minding the Gap (2018)

Dan Connell from the Cinderella Storiez podcast brings us a moving documentary that is - at first glance - about skateboarding in Rockford Illinois. But being made from footage gathered for years by seldom-on-screen director Bing Liu, Minding the Gap turns into a surprisingly gentle exploration of young men finding their path’s forward as they confront their experiences with domestic abuse.   If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club(1985).
