picture-24A touching story of sibling love that centers around a twin brother and sister, who through the death of their father find themselves at the mercy of a cruel and selfish uncle. This uncle often beats the sister and vocally looks forward to the day when he will be able to collect the bride price from the highest bidder. The brother eventually runs off, determined to find a way to pay the price himself and save his sister from marriage to a rich, but wicked, man. Tension steadily builds as time seems about to run out, but eventually, with God’s help, the brother is successful. This high action drama clearly and powerfully presents the correlation between the bride price practice and the sacrifice that Jesus made for all.picture-43
