The “Bride Price” was a moving short film by Stephanie Sinclair about child brides in Afghanistan, Ethiopia and India; the film was spliced with moving and highly evocative photographs of child brides and their husbands/families. The video was photo driven, but had interviews of these young child brides/wives and their experiences, and hardships faced by being so young and a wife/mother.
