International border crossing as a daily constant is an unusual life habit. Especially when Mexican urban dwellers do so to work as agricultural field laborers in the United States. In a time when immigration has taken the political center stage across the globe, El Field contributes to the discussion by providing a compelling portrait in motion of the life, work and industry of a forgotten section of the largest, busiest land transit border in the world. Shot in the Imperial Valley, California, and the Mexicali Valley, Mexico; El Field presents visual historic information that induces the audience to form their own impressions on migrant labor and the industry that employs them.

Two sheets of paper joined to form one larger sheet contain roughly sketched maps on either side. On one side, an unspecified island is marked either with dots with a cross overlaid or plain dots, which a legend indicates, respectively, is 'Capitals of tabala' or 'Capitals of indep. belligerent dist.' Each place is also labeled with one of a handful of abbreviations, apparently of indigenous terms. A note at the bottom discusses warfare among three groups of people and their allies. The map on the other side is nearly identical, but without locations marked by crossed dots and contains no other notes.
