In the Name of Love

by Shannon O'Rourke

"A fine work of documentary filmmaking that tackles a disturbing subject with humor, pathos, and irony..."
Lisbeth L. Tarlow, Ph.D., Associate Director, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies,
Harvard University

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

 


What's motivating the thousands of Russian women who sign up with agencies to meet and marry American men? From the gray skies of St. Petersburg to sunny California ranches, we see the financial and emotional pros and cons of exporting one's heart.

The film grapples with the tremendous economic challenges and difficult decisions facing Russian women today. In the Name of Love is perfect for courses in Women's Studies, Russian Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Family Studies.
