Up in America is a series of documentary films, based on the British Up series, that had been planned to follow the lives of seventeen American children, selectively chosen from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds to represent different parts of American society, from seven years old through adulthood. So far, only three episodes have been completed up to the age of twenty-one, and the series is unlikely to continue.
