Any fans of Michael Apted's 7 Up Series?

If you're a fan of this series, the latest documentary 56 Up is out--not sure if it's only in theaters now or is on dvd. If you're unfamiliar with this series, director Michael Apted (super famous director of a bunch of blockbusters) did a documentary on a bunch of different 7 year olds from England and asked them a bunch of questions and then he revisits these same people every 7 years and makes another documentary. It's a really fascinating series. Roger Ebert does a great review of the series--I can't link to it right now because his site is down.

:cheerleader1: Yes we love it and just saw that it is out. I also highly recommend this series. It is so fascinating. For those who like it there is also an American Up series. They have done ages 7, 14, and 21. I think the next one should be out soon also.

I didn't know about the American up series! I'll have to look for that. As far as I know, 56 up is still just in theaters.
