This observational documentary from the Cutting Edge strand follows three extensive families – who currently have 34 children between them – to explore the emotional, religious and psychological reasons why they 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 with the demands of older children who need help with homework, relationships and some peace from annoying siblings along the way.
