Seven Up! (1964)

Basically, the introduction to an ambitious experiment based on the saying "give me the child until he is seven, and I will give you the man."

We meet the fourteen British 7-year-olds chosen by Michael Apted as the subjects for this experiment. We get a broad spectrum of boys and girls: some from a state-run children's home, some from both lower- and middle-class neighborhoods, and a few from the upper class. There are a few interviews with each of the kids, but this is simply preparation for the check-ins that are scheduled to take place every seven years hereafter.

Not bad, but the interesting stuff will come later.
