Film "Born in the USSR: 21 Up"

[Larry McLellan]

Dear SEELANGers,

I wanted to alert you to a cable television presentation of the 2005  
film "Born in the USSR: 21 Up".   It is scheduled to be shown this  
Sunday morning, July 23, on the Discovery Times station at 7:00-8:30  
a.m. Eastern time (4:00-5:30 a.m. Pacific time).

This is the third in a fascinating series of documentary films  
tracing the lives of a group of young people in the (former) Soviet  
Union.  The series is modeled on Michael Apted's British series that  
has traced a group of people over several decades.  "21 Up," finished  
last year, is currently owned by Swedish television.  It played at  
various European film festivals last year and is now evidently  
appearing only on cable television in the U.S.

If anyone has information about the availability of "7-Up in the  
Soviet Union" or "Born in the USSR: 14 Up", I'd appreciate hearing  
from you.

--LM
