Barn Red (2004)

Barn Red: Directed by Richard Brauer. With Ernest Borgnine, Kimberly Guerrero, Kate Peckham, Will David Young. Michael Boloni, a simple farmer living on his family farm, refuses to sell his family’s plot of land to a developer. With the help of Lydia, a woman whose family once worked Boloni’s farm, Michael makes a stand to keep his cherished land.

“This is such a touching film. I love how it is so relatable. Having grown up in Michigan and being able to watch as much of the land that was once farms and nature be turned into condos, big box stores, and subdivisions, I absolutely love the story of this film. Not being extremely intense, the passion of the writer is clear. No one goes through life without making difficult decisions regarding finances, homes, family, and friends, which is why this film is so amazing. I wish there were more films out there with such sweet and kind stories behind them as this one. Also, Borgnine is so perfect, and Kimberly does an impeccable job.”
