In China, it is hard for a divorced or widowed woman to find a good new husband, especially for those who have kids. For thousands of years, this phenomenon has been rooted in the profound Chinese culture. Though losing something, if not all, those women are still longing for love, one of the only things that can provide warmth to them. They want to give their descendants a family with a father who can fill in the gap of fatherly love. Export My Love is a cross-continent love-seeking story between the East and West. Shot in both China and America, this documentary follows four Chinese women who try to pursue love by finding U.S. husbands. Although they've never been to the U.S. before and most of them cannot speak English, they try their best to overcome these barriers and start new lives.
