In his childhood, Louis Zamperini was an unrecognizable, mischievous, and impractical soul. Zamperini was what some parents would refer to as their continuous “headache”. An everlasting headache, who would always find himself thrown into an act of aggression towards anyone standing in his way. It wasn’t that he was an uncorrectable child, but more-so Zamperini was the needle in a haystack, lost. Ultimately, as a teenager, he channeled his disobedience into running, discovering his stunning talent that led him to the Berlin Olympics. To his unfortunate dismay, the once aspiring athlete would soon be recruit as an airman during World War II. A recruitment that on a May afternoon in 1943 would give a complete 180-degree turn to his troubled life.
