The following description was submitted by an outside party. The views expressed are the individual’s own and are not representative of the Museum of Ventura County. [User contributed description]The film follows my father-in-law, Roberto (67), who spent his life working the fields of Ventura County. As a boy, he survived poverty and a brutal stepfather. This film follows him for one day as he tours the fields where he used to work and recounts the lesson his late mother taught him — that everything in life is temporary. It is called Field Song (Canción del Campo). Here is a link to the film when it was featured on The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/565424/field-song/ It has also been staff picked on Vimeo, Short of the Week, Aeon, the San Francisco International Airport Terminal Museum, as well as a film festival run at Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Ojai Film Festival.
