Directed by Melissa Paris and featuring a stellar cast of eleven, this part-satire, part social experiment explores the international movement of the seed hunter — a group of women determined to save the world from toxic males by tracking down genetically diverse men to father their children. It's whacky, but they're determined, and it's supported by the science!
Bob, a young Australian, studies in Peking in 1976 and carouses with other international students. A beautiful Argentine seed hunter and her jealous admirer spell disaster for Bob. He escapes and returns to Sydney only to discover a secret that casts a spell over his life.
Now in 2025, the international movement of seed hunters has grown. They are determined to have healthy, peaceful children. Bob's niece is a seed hunter and plots her conquest, even as her sister can't resist the ‘chemistry' of an exotic lover. Dorothy, the family matriarch, finally steps in to control her unruly and naïve granddaughters. Bob, meanwhile, decides to return to old haunts in Beijing to face his demons of 50 years ago.
Seed Hunters asks where are these secret groups of women now… and will they succeed?
