Thorpe was the legendary athlete who won two Olympic gold medals representing the United States and went on to help found the NFL.
“Angelina Jolie will produce Bright Path: The Jim Thorpe Story, which will star Martin Sensmeier (Wind River, Westworld) as the multi-talented athlete and member of the Sac and Fox Nation.
In 1912, Thorpe won two Olympic gold medals representing the United States while his citizenship went unrecognized during a period of cultural genocide against Native Americans. He went on to play Major League Baseball, professional football and eventually founded the organization that became the NFL.”
