Bing Liu DIY DOCUMENTARIAN • As a kid who grew up on the move, often left at home alone, Bing Liu only found a sense of belonging when he picked up a skateboard. His acclaimed new documentary Minding the Gap captures a decade-long bond between three friends escaping volatile backgrounds.

Shehrbano Saiyid CLIMBING ADVOCATE • In a remote corner of Pakistan renowned for mountaineering, a wave of female climbers are conquering monumental peaks for the first time – overcoming social barriers and setting records in the process.

COOL RUNNINGS • On icy roads and frozen lakes across Finland, teenagers race customised cars salvaged from scrap. The goal is to destroy the competition, but the reward lies in a tight-knit community fighting off boredom.

FOREVER CHANGES • After making an acclaimed EP at just 16, Snail Mail’s Lindsey Jordan became engulfed by a wave of hype. Now that her debut album is about to justify that excitement, she’s focused on a slowburning success – even if it feels like life is throwing everything at her all at once.

INFINITE TENDERNESS • As an outsider growing up in a religious community, photographer Peyton Fulford explored her sexuality in secret. Then she found a tribe of fiercely open friends, inspiring both a journey of self-discovery and a visual diary of queer youth in the American South.

AGEING COOL • What will rebellion look like in 60 years? To find out, photographer Theo McInnes delved into some of Britain’s most pivotal subcultures, tracking down diehard trendsetters who’ve refused to conform… even in old age. Their stories of self-expression – how our early years shape us, why some passions never stop burning, what it feels like when the world catches up with you – offer a glimpse into the future of any true original.

YEMEN UNITED • In New York City, work is king and dreams only happen if you’re willing to sweat. Nowhere is this truer than at Yemen United, a soccer team caught between the expectations of the old country and the pressures of the new.
