Product Description:

Michael Apted's UP series is an acclaimed piece of sociological filmmaking that documents the lives of a group of U.K. residents every seven years. The series has also spread to South Africa, where director Angus Gibson has been assuming Apted's role and documenting the lives of a diverse array of citizens. This entry finds the 14 participants reaching the age of 21, and Gibson tracks them down to see how their lives have changed since he last filmed them. People from many different races and backgrounds are featured, and all talk openly about life in post-apartheid South Africa, and many of the problems that have beset the country in their brief lifespans.
