Editor's Note
In many ways the Roloffs are the classic American family--rural, hardworking, and trying to raise four children while staying financially afloat. There is however one striking surface detail--they're dwarves, or little people. Together they try to live the American dream while confronting all the physical and emotional pressures of functioning in a world not designed to accommodate their size. At the heart of the family's conflict is their relationship with their twin sons Zach and Jeremy; Zach is the only one of the Roloff children to inherit the dwarf gene. Not only a show about the challenges of fitting in with a society at odds with their appearance, this acclaimed reality TV series is a portrait of family life with just an extra curveball thrown in. And unlike the sensationalism or fabricated drama that plagues most reality programs, the Roloff story is filled with genuine struggles and life-affirming accomplishments.
