Written and directed by the accomplished Julie Staley of Spencer Films, "Fields of Gold" takes viewers on an awe-inspiring journey through time, narrated by the Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Coyote. The documentary chronicles the remarkable life of Augustus Eugene Staley, an ordinary farmer born in 1867 who carved an extraordinary path to become the driving force behind an agricultural empire. From his humble beginnings, Mr. Staley's story unfolds to reveal his ownership of turn-of-the-twentieth-century baseball and football teams, most notably the Decatur Staleys football squad. This team, under the leadership of figures like George Halas, Charles "Chic" Harley, and Edward "Dutch" Sternaman, would go on to make history as the Chicago Bears in 1922.
