Seven up documentary series

There’s unlike anything else like it. Fourteen kids are interviewed in 1964 under the premise of “give me a child until he is 7 and i will show you the man.”

Every seven years thereafter, director Michael Apted revisits them, at least those still willing to participate.

I borrowed these from the library during COVID and mistakenly thought they were due back in four days so I essentially binged these people’s lives.

I watched these real people grow up and get old in a span of days.

It deeply moved me and was a large motivating factor in my decision to have a child.
