As an Olympian, soldier, prisoner of war, and evangelical Christian, Louis Zamperini embodied the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
Stories of survival like that of Unbroken's real-life inspiration, Louis Zamperini, are as old as time itself. In a world rife with negativity and cynicism, messages about individual transcendence and the resilience of human beings never cease to inspire, reminding us all that even in our worst moments, things could always be worse.
Competing once again in a 5,000-meter race, Louis finished eighth out of thirteen runners and clocked in at 56 seconds. While not a stellar performance on the track, one can safely assume the young runner's overall experience on one of the world's grandest stages was an eye-opening and surreal experience, not least of which because he found himself in proximity to some of history's most infamous figures.
How Did Louis Zamperini Become a Prisoner of War? After 33 days, Sgt. McNamara succumbed to the brutal circumstances and died, and after drifting 2,000 miles over a total of 47 grueling days, Zamperini and Phillips made landfall on an island and were soon captured by the Japanese military. What followed for the two men was a multi-year ordeal that would take a tremendous physical and mental toll.
