"28 Up", a fascinating documentary, has just started playing here this past
week.  It appears to have originally been an English television program, as
it's divided into a few segments ("End of Part 1", etc.)

The film travels through time to present a picture of a number of different
individuals at four different ages, 7, 14, 21 and 28.  I imagine this film
is a by-product of a more in-depth study that was being done, but the
version produced here for mass consumption is very very interesting.  Seeing
the changes these individuals go through from childhood to adulthood, and
seeing the *lack* of changes in some sense, is amazing.

Ps. The main drawback of viewing this, is going away with the wish that someone
had shot hours and hours of 35-mm film of you riding your bike, pounding on
your brother, and just being a child.
