Similar to Boyhood, The Up Documentaries is about following people through their lifetime. Filmed for the British BBC, the movie tracked 20 children through their lives. With ten installments in total, some children unfortunately passed away, while others decided to not continue shooting. With ten out of the twenty children remaining, the last installment saw the ‘children’ now at the age of 63. The director, Michael Apted, died in 2021.
