Overview
This long-running documentary revisits a group of people first interviewed as children in England, checking in every seven years to see how their hopes and circumstances have changed. Now in midlife, they reflect on love, family, work, class, and prejudice, while also sharing what it feels like to have their lives recorded over decades.
