UNBROKEN

A movie was done in 2014 about Louis Zamperini who is an Olympic champion in running.

Louis is from Italy but his family migrated to the USA. Louis Zamperini was born in January 1917, in Olean, New York. Raised in California, Zamperini joined the track team in high school. Excelling at long-distance events, Zamperini competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and was set to compete again in the 1940 games in Tokyo, which were canceled when World War II broke out. In May 1943, the Olympic athlete turned airman Louis Zamperini's bomber crashed in the Pacific. He reached land after a harrowing 47 days on a life raft, only to spend two tortured years as a Japanese war prisoner.
