Tanya Hart speaks with the cast of the faith-based release Unbroken: Path to Redemption.

Path to Redemption is unofficial sequel to Unbroken, Angelina Jolie’s harrowing 2014 drama about the experiences of Louis Zamperini, the Olympian distance runner and Air Force bombardier who survived 47 days on a life raft after his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean, then endured two years of merciless torture in a Japanese POW camp.

Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s bestselling book, Unbroken: Path to Redemption begins where Unbroken ends, sharing the next amazing chapter of Olympian and World War II hero Louis Zamperini’s powerful true story of forgiveness, redemption, and amazing grace.

 

Joshua DuBois an informal spiritual adviser to President Barack Obama, poses for a photo in northeast Washington, on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2013. Obama is not an overtly religious man. He and his family rarely attend church, and he almost never elaborates in public about his own relationship to his Christian faith. But far away from the public eye, his longtime advisers say, the president has carefully nurtured a sense of spirituality that has served as a grounding mechanism during turbulent times, when the obstacles to governing a deeply divided nation seem nearly insurmountable. "I’ve certainly seen the president's faith grow in his time in office," said DuBois. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)
