International border crossing as a daily constant is an unusual life habit. Particularly when Mexican urban dwellers do so to work as agricultural laborers in the United States. In a time when drug trafficking has debilitated U.S. - Mexico relations and foreign migration has taken the political center stage in America, 'El Field' contributes to the discussion by providing a portrait in motion of the migrant workers and the industry that employs them. The antithesis of the urban decadent and lawless border imagery dispensed in recent years by the media, 'El Field' excels as a vital piece of historic information that exemplifies bilateral border relationship as a stunning, complex, and many times chaotic symbiosis. One worthy to be observed, understood, but above all, cherished.
