Do you perhaps mean "The Dionne Quintuplets", a TV film made in 1978, which told the story of the Canadian quintuplets.

When the girls were just infants, the premier of Ontario issued a court order removing them from parental care. Cut off from the world and their family, over-publicised, viewed twice daily in a special viewing compound, they grew up as prize exhibits. The film utilised old newsreel footage and home-movie sequences to depict this historic event that became a tragic exploitation of a family.
