About this listen
The History Channel’s new documentary Jim Thorpe: Lit by Lightning, airing July 7th @ 8pm (ET/PT) on The History Channel. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Chris Eyre, the film offers a powerful portrait of one of the most extraordinary athletes in American history. The film chronicles the life of Jim Thorpe, a Sac and Fox/Potawatomi sports icon who shattered barriers as the first Native American Olympic gold medalist and a multisport legend in football, baseball, and track and field. The documentary explores his triumphs and the systemic racism he endured. Eyre, known for his Native-centered storytelling, reframes Thorpe not as a tragic figure but as a resilient symbol of perseverance and pride.
