21 Up South Africa Mandela's Children

Director Angus Gibson follows in Michael Apted's footsteps with this moving documentary inspired by the original "Up" series. Following a group of South African children filmed first when they are 7 years of age in 1992, then 14, and then 21, the film traces their incredible journeys. The children witness the end of Apartheid at an early age, going on to struggle, face tragedy, and share their dreams. 70 min. Soundtrack: English; interview.
