Episode 1
Cameras catch up with the participants from 7 Up 2000 as they turn 28, with some of them now reassessing their career paths.
One of the 大象传媒鈥檚 most ambitious documentary projects returns for its fourth instalment. Over 20 years in the making, and made by the same production team throughout, 28 Up Millennium Generation has followed the lives - every seven years - of a group of people with very different backgrounds from all over the UK. All aged seven at the turn of the century, when the first film was made, they have now reached the age of 28.
Having had to give up his career as a footballer because of serious injury, Sanchez, from Leeds, continues his pursuit for fame in other ways by focusing on making it as a radio DJ. Bolton-based Gemma, who was born able-bodied but left severely paralysed by a rare virus that attacked her body at the age of two, must find work in an increasingly competitive job landscape. In Slough, we discover if John managed to travel the world as he dreamed of doing as a 14-year-old. Oliver, from London, who was educated at Eton, re-evaluated his priorities after spending time in the US and is now struggling to find career satisfaction. In Liverpool, Courtney wants to prove to herself and others that she can survive and thrive in the toughest of times. And Ben from the Isle of Mull is figuring out exactly what he wants for his life.
