Field of Dreams is a canonically American story -- in more ways than one. The film evokes nostalgia for the American family farm, forgotten heroes, and one man’s quest to bring baseball home to Iowa. It's also segregated by gender and race, actively avoiding fundamental parts of the American story. Five-part series hosted by Keir Hichens, written as a summer research project.

The Noble Lie
A World Series: fixed by mobsters. A social hierarchy: fixed by white rulers. A game: fixed by team owners. What happens when the foundation of a structure is a lie?

Family Values
Field of Dreams presents three of its main characters as products of the “protest movement” of the 1960s – but the film’s messaging directly contradicts the movements for civil rights, free speech, and second-wave feminism. Music: Lively Classical Piano Waltz by MusicLFiles, Soft Classical Piano by MusicLFiles, Ostsee by Sascha Ende, and Prairie Sounds by Liancu. License: filmmusic.io/standard-license
