The Bride Price

Featuring Chief Theresa Kachindamoto and activists, THE BRIDE PRICE explores underage marriage, sexually abusive practices and girls' rights in Malawi, a country with one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Families charge a bride price, reducing a girl's worth to barter. This was successfully challenged in Parliament, yet the tribal norm and their fight for equality continues.
