Seven Up!

Fourteen seven-year-old children from across the British social spectrum, from elite private schools to working-class neighborhoods, answer questions about their dreams, fears, and futures. Their naive yet insightful responses capture not only personal hopes but also the social barriers of the 1960s. The camera captures a childlike innocence already shaded by class, creating a unique portrait of a nation in miniature. This documentary experiment becomes the first installment in an unprecedented project that will revisit these same individuals every seven years.
