MINDING THE GAP is a gripping coming of age story: while navigating a complex relationship between his camera and his friends, filmmaker Bing Liu explores the gap between fathers and sons, between discipline and abuse, and ultimately that precarious chasm between childhood and becoming an adult. Bing appeared on stage and in conversation with Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner (Senior Host of Colorado Matters)
