Charging scenes of the present with dystopian speculation, "Field Resistance" blurs the boundaries between documentary filmmaking and science fiction to investigate overlooked environmental devastation in the overlooked state of Iowa. Footage collected from disparate locations—a university herbarium, karst sinkholes inhabited by primordial flora and fauna, a telecommunication tower job site, a decaying grain silo, among others—interlocks to evoke a narrative of present danger and future disaster, of plant expansion and humanity's retreat. The film rejects the human individual as the focus of narrative cinema, and, instead, adopts the perspective of a symbiotic "implosive whole" in which human and nonhumans are related in an overlapping, non-total way.

During a party at her house, when a young woman comes out to the backyard, a series of interactions with her friends leads her to question if she is making the right choice to go back to Iran to visit a dying family member, at a time of chaos and uncertainty.
