This study examines three long documentaries from Europe, each tracing the lives of individuals or groups as they mature from childhood to adulthood. It explores the reasons why long documentaries are so popular with television and cinema audiences, as well as addressing some of the issues faced by the documentary makers in producing them. -- .
