7-up

7 Up was a very interesting documentary. I liked it a lot. This type of documentary is known as a "journey documentary" for it followed the teens through their lives. The up documentaries are really interesting and after watching 7 Up I would have liked to watch the others to see what would have happened to these children. 7 Up seemed to focus on economic status for all the children. In the interviews that are done they are grouped by their school, and that ultimately means they are grouped by their status. As the children grow older they seem to have some of the same beliefs as when they were younger. It appears as if growing up in a certain community can alter a children beliefs and what they are going to achieve in life. With journey documentaries you can see where life takes people, and the different factors that can affect ones life.
