The Up Series

The Up Series is a documentary project that follows a group of people, starting when they were seven years old, and revisits them every seven years to record their life experiences and perspectives. Initiated in 1964 by director Michael Apted, it aims to explore how individuals' lives evolve over time and how their backgrounds influence their choices. The series provides a thoughtful look at personal development, social class, and aspirations, offering viewers a compelling, longitudinal portrait of human growth across decades.
