On Sunday, November 23rd, director Michael Apted appeared at the Tivoli Theater in University City to accept a lifetime achievement award for his documentaries. There was a great interview, and then a Q&A session, in which I participated. There was also a showing of "The Power of the Game," Apted's new soccer documenatry. Afterwards, I was able to talk to him in the lobby a little bit.
If you're not familiar with Michael Apted, I suggest you check out the "Up" series, starting with "7 Up," then "!4 Up," "21 Up" and so on, until "49 Up." Apted interviews a group of children when they are 7 years old, then every seven years afterwards. The kids are fairly ordinary, but have very interesting outlooks on life which some of them change (and some do not) over the years. I highly recommend them!
