About the Film: 

In A Field All His Own offers an unprecedented look at the life and career of famed Yale political scientist James C. Scott. Drawing from nearly thirty hours of oral history interviews with Scott and affiliated scholars at Yale and UC Berkeley, the film traces the intellectual journey of the award-winning social scientist from his childhood in New Jersey through each of the ground-breaking works he produced throughout his accomplished career. Overall, the film presents an intellectual biography of one of the world’s preeminent academics, a feature that will serve as a treasured resource for the students and scholars of today, as well as those of tomorrow.
