Despite political rhetoric to the contrary, the United States and China have enjoyed the most mutually successful economic partnership in modern history.

The Group of Seven (G7) nations include the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Germany, France, and Italy. As emerging market economies, and especially China, have boomed, the G7's share of global GDP has dramatically fallen.

But a closer examination of the underlying economic data shows that the United States' share of global GDP has risen, especially since 2010. The US is the only G7 country to take a larger share of global GDP while China's economy rocketed higher.

What Price Bride Price?

Bride Price or lobola is both a cherished but highly controversial culture practised throughout Africa. It is the price paid in cows or money by the groom to the parents of the bride.

This inspirational documentary tackles important side effects of bride wealth, namely child marriages, domestic violence and poverty. It features a cross-section of survivors of domestic violence, judges, community leaders, policy makers and rights activists.

The makers believe there are various aspects of the practice of bride price that violate the Constitution of Uganda as well as binding International Human Rights laws.

We take the viewer into the lives of ordinary Ugandans as they share their experience on dowry.

This enlightening documentary also provides a wealth of information on the practice of Bride Price in different cultures in Uganda.

Notes for Journalists / Editors
MIFUMI Brief Organizational Profile
MIFUMI is a developmental NGO and women's rights organization. The organization has worked for over ten years to reduce the burden of poverty; addressing issues that hinder development by initiating developmental projects. MIFUMI particularly protects women and children experiencing domestic violence and bride price related violations.

MIFUMI's position on various issues around the practice of bride price is as follows:
1. Bride price should not form an essential ingredient of marriage, it should be non-obligatory
2. Bride price should not be refunded when a relationship breaks down. In 2015, MIFUMI's appeal case in the Supreme Court finally bore fruits; the demand for refund of bride price upon dissolution of a customary marriage was declared unconstitutional thus putting an end to a practice that tied women in loveless and violent unions.
3. At the death of a woman, before the payment/completed payment of bride price, burial should not be prevented and bride price should not be demanded. (MIFUMI has successfully embedded this into the Tororo district level policy through the Bridal Gifts Ordinance)

End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless | Gold | Financial Crisis | ENDEVR Documentary from 2012.

In 2008 the world experienced one of the greatest financial turmoils in modern history. Markets around the world started crashing, stock prices plummeted, and major financial institutions, once thought to be invincible, started showing signs of collapse. Governments responded quickly, issuing massive bailouts and stimulus packages in an effort to keep the world economy afloat.Although we’ve been told that these drastic measures prevented a total collapse of our system, a growing sense of unease fills the population. In the world of finance, indeed in all facets of modern life, cracks have started to appear. What lies ahead as a result of these bold money printing measures? Was the financial crisis solved, or were the problems merely kicked down the road?▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Subscribe ENDEVR for free: https://bit.ly/3e9YRRGJoin the club and become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/freedocumentaryFacebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbGInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ende....vrdocs/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬#Fre #ENDEVR #EndOfTheRoad▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos and animations.
