Young Brides for Sale - Roma Marriage Market in Bulgaria
Explore the annual tradition of the Kalaidzhi Roma clan in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, where controversy surrounds the bride market. Young virgins are presented to potential suitors who bid on them, making it a focal point for Bulgaria's 18,000-strong Kalaidzhi community. Despite facing ongoing prejudice in Europe, the Kalaidzhi cling to their heritage, with the bride market representing one of their few remaining traditions.
Taking place in southeastern Bulgaria, the Kalaidzhi bride market sees young girls matched with boys coming from financially stable families. However, an increasing number of young Roma are challenging this age-old practice. For them, the annual market offers the sole opportunity to find a partner due to their Orthodox Christian beliefs and strict adherence to traditional values, which prohibit pre-marital relationships. Marriage within the group is essential, ruling out any possibility of marrying outside the Roma community, particularly non-Roma Bulgarians.
While dowry remains a significant factor in these arranged marriages, a growing segment of young Roma are pushing back against this traditional system. They aspire to make their own choices in love and marriage, opposing the notion of being bartered off at a young age, often as young as 14. For these girls, marriage signifies the end of autonomy, as they transition into roles as housewives and mothers, highlighting the clash between tradition and modernity within the Kalaidzhi community.

Inside the Biggest Slum in Europe 🇪🇺 - Fakulteta, Sofia 🇧🇬
Переглядів 15 тис.8 місяців тому
I went inside Fakulteta, Sofia - recognized as the biggest slum in Europe. The inhabitants of Fakulteta are primarily gypsies, a community that despite the adversity, continues to survive and hold on to their identity. Really similar to the favelas found in Brazil, Fakulteta stands as a massive ghetto where being poor affects everything, big time. The living conditions here are not just difficu...

Mini-Chernobyl in Bulgaria | Pripyat's little brother Dimum
Переглядів 9209 місяців тому
While the world mainly talks about Pripyat and Chernobyl, a similar story happened quietly along the Danube in Bulgaria as well. Me and my Venezuelan wife explore the ghost town of Dimum, a mini-Chernobyl, where no one has ever lived. Well, except for one person maybe. And their dog. There's also a power generator with noise coming from it and rooftop views.
