‘Give me a child until he is seven, and I will show you the man’. Is a person’s fate sealed at birth? In 1964 acclaimed director Michael Apted interviewed 14 children (from differing social backgrounds) for a TV documentary 7Up. Apted has returned to those children every seventh year to chart their progress through life. Now halfway through their lives, how close are they to realising their dreams and ambitions? As the series reaches maturity, it starts asking grander questions such as: What is love? What is character? What is success?
