The movie Unbroken tells the story of Louis Zamperini, a World War II prisoner of war survivor who spent 47 days on a raft in the shark-infested waters of the Pacific Ocean. And while the film details much of Zamperini’s life, including his Olympic career as a distance runner, it only shines a light on part of Zamperini’s gripping story. Zamperini overcame alcoholism, night terrors, and a failing marriage to live a full and joyous Christ-centered life until his passing at age 97, inspiring millions along the way.
