Angelina Jolie breaks down at ‘Unbroken’ world premiere

Zamperini had met Jolie before he passed away in July. “Angelina became a great part of my life,” he was quoted as saying. “She knows what she wants, and she knows what she’s doing, and I trust her one hundred per cent. I have all the confidence in the world that ‘Unbroken’ will be a great film.”

‘Unbroken’ tells the story of Olympian and war hero Zamperini who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII-only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

The movie was shot in Sydney and other locations around Australia last year.
