The South Africa 'Up' Series

The South Africa 'Up' series follows the personal journeys of a diverse range of young South Africans who were born into the apartheid era, filming them every seven years as they grow up through the country's dramatic political changes.
We meet them first at age seven in 1992, two years before Nelson Mandela became president in the first non-racial elections in South Africa. Every seven years since, the twists and turns of their personal lives have been charted against the backdrop of South Africa's recent history.
