PRICE OF A DAUGHTER - DOCUMENTARY FILM

 

In order to overcome the harsh economic difficulties inflicted between the two World Wars, from the end of the 1920's to the beginning of the 1950's, some Turkish Cypriot fathers sold their own daughters to Arab men for very low prices.

 

The fate of most of these women is unknown.
