Unbroken: Path To Redemption Arrived in Theaters Friday, 15th

His is a life worth remembering ... twice over! The rest of Louis Zamperini's unbelievable true story comes to life on the big screen, September 15 in UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION. Following his return as an unbroken war hero, Louie's life was filled with haunting memories of his time as a P.O.W. A quest for revenge left him nearly broken ... until Billy Graham pointed him toward the forgiveness, redemption, and amazing grace that we all need to find. 

On the brink of divorce, Cynthia Zamperini was invited to Billy Graham's 1949 Los Angeles Crusade, where she found faith in Christ and a renewed commitment to her marriage and her husband. Her most fervent prayer became for God to help Louie find the peace and forgiveness he so desperately needed.
