Seven Up! (1964)

A fascinating beginning to the Up documentary series, where all the children in question are seven years old. The varied backgrounds show up in very interesting ways - one child asks what a university is, while others rattle off their entire education plan. It's a short film, just over 30 minutes, which made me wish there had been a bit more time for me to sort out which kid was which so I could connect them in the later documentaries. Well worth the watch, though. Can't wait to continue the series. 3.5 stars.
