‘Little People Big World’ is a reality television series with a big heart. It falls under the gambit of reality series that focus on the lives of a group of people, generally a family. One can think of shows like ‘Keeping Up with Kardashians’ for an idea of the type of shows that ‘Little People Big World’ falls under. However, it is much more unique than that.
‘Little People Big World’ revolves around the Roloff family: a family of dwarves and people of average height. It recounts how Matt and Amy raised their four children at the Roloff Farms. Apart from documenting the family members’ personal lives, the show also chronicles their family business. A lot has changed for the Roloff family since the series first began airing in 2006. For starters, Matt and Amy Roloff have separated, changing the dynamic of the family completely.
Yet, as they say, the show must go on. ‘Little People Big World’ has been an incredible journey filled with such downs and several ups. It revolves around the routine conflicts of a family, after all.
