This is part 2 of the interview Jerry Woods did with Louis Zamperini, the man whose story inspired the new film "Unbroken." But there's more to his story than just what the film told, and Jerry was able to sit down with Mr. Zamperini one more time before he passed away so he could share it.

One of the big movies that came out on Christmas is the movie "Unbroken." It chronicles parts of the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympian and World War II war hero. But there's so much more to this story that didn't get told. Zamperini passed away in the summer of 2014, but our own Jerry Woods had a chance to interview him a couple of years back. In part one of this special interview, Zamperini shares his growing up years, his life of petty crime and how he ended up at the Olympics in Germany in 1936.
