FILM TO EXPLORE LIFE OF LOUIS ZAMPERINI
According to The Christian Post, Will Graham will play the part of his grandfather, evangelist Billy Graham, in the film Unbroken: Path To Redemption. The movie will focus on the faith of Olympian and POW Louis Zamperini and is based on Laura Hillenbrand’s book. “Zamperini’s life is rich in lessons for all of us,” Hillenbrand said. “Lessons in resilience and ingenuity, grace and humanity, forgiveness and the redemptive power of faith.”
