21 Up

The children, which started as seven years of age in the "Up" series, are now twenty-one and entering adulthood. Michael Apted captures more honesty and truth with this series than may have ever been captured in the history of the medium, and there's still a few more to go. To watch these films is to watch children grow up as well as their ideas. It can be both profound and sad to see what life brings to these once eager youths. A truly remarkable achievement that I look forward to continuing.
