Overview

Children of the Fields (1973), was produced for a television series on children sponsored by the Xerox Corporation and dealt with migrant farmworkers. To make it, Young immersed himself in the lives of Mexican American migrant laborers in the Southwest.

They agreed to permit Young to follow them during the harvesting season and to be the subjects of his film.
