Gerry is a documentary filmmaker who, one day each year, follows five children around with a camera. The results are shown annually on television. Yet for the children who grow up under Gerry's (and the nation's) watchful eyes, the experience creates its own dynamic. Are the participants his subjects, his children or his creations? Spanning more than twenty years, A Man With Five Children invites you into a world of fractured celebrity and distorted vision.
