21 Up is a documentary film that continues the series following the lives of 14 British children who were first interviewed in 1964 as part of a social experiment. The film was directed by Michael Apted and released in 1977.
In 21 Up, the children, now young adults, are interviewed again to see how their lives have changed over the past seven years. The film explores a range of topics including education, work, relationships, marriage, and parenthood.
Apted delves into the subjects' experiences with social class, as many of them have moved up or down in the social hierarchy since the last film. He also explores their political views and personal beliefs.
The film is a unique look into the lives of everyday people as they navigate through adulthood and the challenges that come with it. It is an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience and how it changes over time.
