Unbroken Trailer 2

In this Louis Zamperini interview, the Olympian/POW recalls meeting Adolf Hitler, surviving at sea, and becoming a POW. The interview follows the events in the movie. Zamperini also discusses life after he returned home, including turning to drinking and discovering Christ, the moment his ongoing nightmares of his tormentor, the Bird, ended.

This CBS Sports documentary on Louis Zamperini features the rare Mutsuhiro Watanabe interview (aka "The Bird"). It was produced by CBS Sports as part of their coverage of the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. Zamperini and his story are featured first. The Bird interview starts at the 30:20 mark.

Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's book of the same name and directed by Angelina Jolie from a script by the Coen brothers, Unbroken tells the story of Olympian and WWII hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini, whose B-24 suffered mechanical difficulties and went down over the Pacific Ocean, leaving him stranded at sea. He was captured by the Japanese and held in an internment camp until the end of the war. Louis Zamperini died on July 2, 2014 at age 97.

During the 2014 Winter Olympics in February, a special trailer for Unbroken aired, which splices together footage from the movie with pictures and interview clips of the real Olympian and prisoner of war survivor Louis Zamperini. Director Angelina Jolie is also featured.
