Seven Up

Seven Up! is a great documentary that follows around 20 kids that are all seven years old that were living in Britain at the time. The film was made in 1964. I believe this movie to be an observational documentary. The movie consists of interviews and following around the kids on their day to day life. Also, there are some staged shots.

I think the idea for this film is absolutely amazing. And I love how this documentary has become a series. It is such a great idea for them to follow up on the people every seven years. I've always wondered what it would be like to film someone when they are young and then old to see how different they are.

I couldn't find a clip for Seven Up!, but I did find a clip for 49 UP. So here you go.
