About this listen

Inspired by actual events, this story is set—in a small town on the Gulf Coast of South Alabama, where football runs deep, and tradition colors everything in Purple and Gold. One boy’s journey rises above the field.

Alvin has lived a life shaped by pain—family trauma, loss, and the kind of hardship that would break most people. But beneath it all, there’s fight in him. When the world tells him he won’t make it, Alvin finds strength in unexpected places: a dedicated coach, a handful of teachers who never gave up on him, and a younger brother who still sees him as a hero.

Wearing the Purple and Gold jersey becomes more than a game — it becomes a symbol of how far Alvin has come and how much further he wants to go. Through it all, he learns that healing doesn’t come easy, but redemption is possible.

Purple and Gold is a powerful, emotional coming-of-age story rooted in Southern tradition and real-life grit. Emotional, heart-wrenching, and ultimately inspiring, it’s a story for anyone who knows what it means to fight your way through.
