Inspiring Others

When the family agreed to appear in the documentary, they also did it to inspire others to have a large family. “We really thought it would be a good thing to show big families in a positive light, and that people with big families are not always on benefits,” Sue said. You see, benefits are similar to the American Welfare system.

Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of stigma surrounding those in need of them. So instead, the mother of 22 told Pinkoddy she wanted to show that, “actually we work hard for what we have and we make it work so well.” However, the family never expected the documentary to become such a massive hit!
