The film
The series, a spinoff of the British version, was made in 1992, when the country was in the death throes of apartheid. In it the producers interview 20 seven-year-olds from diverse backgrounds (black, white, rich and poor) about their lives in South Africa. The same children were interviewed for this series, based on the British are interviewed in seven-year intervals – at ages 14, 21 and 28 – to track the changes and developments in their lives.
The series was broadcast by the Al Jazeera network and offers a longitudinal study of how South Africa’s social landscape has changed over time and explores how these changes impact the lives and character of those growing up in this context.
