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.
Anders & Davin Lindwall, director and producer brothers behind this movie.
Green and Gold is our heartfelt tribute to rural America’s strength and perseverance. The film highlights the stories of hardworking farmers confronting growing challenges in today’s economy. Inspired by our roots and our grandfather, a dairy farmer, my brother Davin Lindwall and I sought to tell an authentic story that honors rural America’s farming community’s grit, goodness, and unbreakable bond.
From waiting overnight in a frozen barn for a calf to be born to shutting down streets in Door County to film tractor races, every aspect of Green and Gold is a testament to the collective spirit of our friends, family, and neighbors. This is not just a film; it is a project built from the love and traditions of where we come from. Each frame captures the countless contributions of people who believed in this story, whether lending their time, opening their homes, or offering invaluable advice and resources. The journey from script to screen has been deeply personal, filled with moments that tested our resolve and reinforced why this story needed to be told.
At its core, Green and Gold is a tribute to the unsung heroes who shape communities, preserve traditions, and steadfastly anchor the world through selfless kindness, unwavering hard work, and a profound appreciation for life’s simplest yet most valuable things.
