Another writer addresses the issue in the film by stating “They got guys out there…

It is through this idea that we can better understand the meaning of not only the novel "Unbroken" but also the movie "The Long Walk Home". Faith can be used to interpret the meaning of these works because it is what the characters use to overcome their hardships.
