Unbroken


On Christmas Day, Unbroken will be released. It is a new movie, directed by Angelina Jolie, about the book of the same title authored by Laura Hillenbrand. Larry and I listened to the audio book on our most recent trip down to SC. We often listen to audio books on our long road trips now. These books turn the mundane driving into something else entirely. Unbroken is a true, but heart-wrenching story of Louis Zamparini, an Olympic runner turned POW.

It is a story of survival and resilience. It will make a great movie. I think with Angelina Jolie directing it, she will likely graphically depict the truth of what happened to Zamparini. It will be as difficult to watch as it was to hear, I am sure. But, it is a story well worth telling, and we can't wait to go see it.
