49 Up
49 Up is the seventh film in a landmark documentary series that began 42 years ago with the World in Action team at UK-based Granada, inspired by the Jesuit maxim "Give me the child until he is seven, and I will give you the man," interviewed a diverse group of seven-year-old children from across England, asking them about their lives and future hopes. Michael Apted, a researcher for the original film, has returned to interview the "children" every seven years since, at the ages of14,21,28,35,42, and now 49. More life-changing decisions are revealed, shocking announcements are made, and more of the original group participates than ever before, speaking out on a variety of topics including love, marriage, career, class, and prejudice.
