13 Kids and Wanting More
C4 Thursday 22 May 2008 9pm
An absorbing and revealing insight into the chaotic world of the large family. This observational documentary follows three extensive families – who currently have 36 children between them – to explore the emotional, religious and psychological reasons why they each have a need to keep on having more.
The everyday lives of these participating families are followed to understand what drives them to spend their days in a constant cycle of pregnancy, breast feeding and nappy changing – while dealing along the way with the demands of older children who need help with homework, relationships and some peace from annoying younger siblings.
