About
Thorpe will focus on Thorpe"™s time at Carlisle Industrial Indian School, which became the model for government and church-run Native American boarding schools that pervaded the United States and Canada in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. its motto "˜Kill the Indian, Save the Man,"™ Carlisle isolated Native children from their families and tribal communities, and systematically stripped them of their languages, customs, medicines, religious beliefs, regalia, and even their own names"”to assimilate them into mainstream society. Jim Thorpe attended Carlisle as a teen and eventually played college football there under legendary coach Glenn "Pop" Warner, whom, the filmmakers said, sold Carlisle football to the public as an athletic version of Buffalo Bill"™s Wild West Show. Collage"™s script tells the story of Thorpe"™s resilience as he ascends to college football dominance and ultimately achieves Olympic glory at the Stockholm games in 1912.
