“Jim Thorpe: Lit By Lightning” explores the legendary journey of Jim Thorpe, a Native American icon whose athletic prowess reshaped the landscape of 20th-century sports, defying the brutal challenges of racial prejudice along the way. Based on extensive interviews and utilizing Jim’s own writing this documentary brings together a diverse array of Native American scholars, historians, athletes, and influential sports commentators. Jim’s unparalleled career, from leading the Carlisle Indian School’s football team to becoming a two-time Olympic gold medalist in 1912, a Hall of Fame NFL legend, and a Major League Baseball player, redefined the possibilities for athletes of all backgrounds. But his triumphs came at a cost, as he battled racism, had his Olympic gold medals stripped away, and faced the harsh realities of America’s unforgiving sports industry.
