The third installment of the Life Series features the ordinary and extraordinary life events of eleven Australian children as they learn to deal with many of life's hurdles and the day-to-day challenges of being five.

Look at Life was a regular British series of short documentary films of which 507 were produced between 1959 and 1969 by the Special Features Division of the Rank Organisation for screening in their Odeon and Gaumont cinemas. The films always preceded the main feature film that was being shown in the cinema that week. It replaced the circuit's newsreel, Universal News, which had become increasingly irrelevant in the face of more immediate news media, particularly on television with the launch of ITN on the Independent Television service, which began broadcasting in parts of the United Kingdom in 1955.

The Life Series returns with two compelling new episodes as eight Australian children negotiate life in the rapidly changing world of late childhood, in the crucial few years before adolescence begins. Theyve been filmed since their first year of life, as part of a unique scientific and social experiment. Now nine, they are the public face of a pioneering longitudinal study of Australian children.The study reveals sweeping changes to childhood, particularly in how children are spending their time. So in a Life Series first, we follow all our children from wakeup to bedtime to uncover what life is really like at nine.In Life at 9, the kids respond to the world with new sophistication and complexity. But at the same time, their development is at a precipice. The latest scientific research tells us their levels of independence and creativity could set them up for success in later life. Yet evidence suggests that both are declining rapidly in the life of the modern child.
