Description: An experimental, socially-themed film which Baillie describes as a vision of America, el conquistador. Its imagery was taken on a cross-country pilgrimage from California's vegetable farms to New York's Park Avenue. Recording examples of exploitation, poverty and imperialism, the film also contemplates a small-town high school basketball game, the spectacle of a circus performance, billboards and the varieties of work. These scenes are combined using multiple superimpositions and mattes.
