Kapadia, known for his intimate biographical films like "Senna" and "Amy," takes over the stewardship of this unique sociological experiment after Apted's passing. His appointment signifies a new creative direction for the final installment, which will aim to provide a poignant and cohesive conclusion to nearly 70 years of filming.
