Foreclosure looms over Wisconsin dairy farmer Buck (Craig T. Nelson). With mounting debt and the land his family has cultivated for four generations at risk, Buck refuses to give up his legacy without a fight. Buck’s granddaughter (Madison Lawlor) works alongside him but dreams of a career in music. Her aspirations are fanned by an emerging friendship with a famous musician (Brandon Sklenar), but chasing her dreams might take her far from the farm. With time running out, Buck places a daring bet on his beloved Green Bay Packers winning the Championship, risking it all to save everything he holds dear.

Directed by Anders Lindwall, Green and Gold is an inspiring and poignant exploration of resilience, sacrifice, and the extraordinary courage required to steward a family farm through mounting challenges.

Dan Visser, Brooks Malberg, Scott Pomeroy, Craig Cheek, and Darren Moorman executive produce the feature film. The screenplay was written by Anders Lindwall, Steven Shafer, Michael Graf, and Missy Mareau Garcia.
