I saw Age 7 in America on Tuesday in my Diversity in Education class... our "assignment" was to pick one of the children and "adopt" them, and then to write them a letter. I had a hard time choosing between Kennisha and Leroy, but ultimately chose Leroy because I felt he knew too much about drugs at age 7. (I was born on the South side, and much of my family still lives on the South and East sides of Chicago, so it was definitely a soft spot.) I couldn't wait an entire week to see the second installment, and this was the only film I was able to find online after an hour of searching. I cried when I saw Leroy. Although in reality I am only three or four years older than he is, I wish he could have received the letter I wrote yesterday at age seven. Thank you so much for having this available.

My teacher is trying to get her hands on 14 and 21. Where can we get them. Maybe you can contact her for 7 in America. If you want the school information send me an email.

I'm Australian and over the last three weeks have watched 7- 14- 21- Up on Foxtel. It's been a 'whole-family' viewing, with my sons (age 13 and 19) and my eldests son's girlfriend. We have all hung out each week, waiting to see how these kids make their way through life. Some of them are abolute everyday heros (Good luck Kennisha! ) and you find yourself silently cheering them on. As much as it's been heart-wrenching (seeing the hope, vulnerability, and pain in the eyes of a 14 year old recently reunited with his mother after two year of foster care, determined that this time 'things will get better') .... it's also been heart-warming (seeing that same 14 year old at 21 years, finding esteem and acceptance in a good job and a loving relationship... and just growing into this remarkeable person!). I am an upper-primary school teacher and would love to be able to show the kids at school... I know it's led to many discussions in our house about how we are shaped/influenced -one way or another- by our backgrounds. The latest episode has also got me considering what it means to be 'successful' in this life... I'm still mulling that one over... It’s brillian isn’t it?
