The trailer for 49 Up, the latest in a series of documentary films in which the same group of people (from varying socio-economic backgrounds) are interviewed every seven years. The first movie, Seven Up!, was released in 1964 when the participants were seven years old. "The premise of the film was taken from the Jesuit motto 'Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man.'"
