Louis Zamperini - Life Story

Louis Zamperini is a humble man. Ninety-three years old, when Laura Hillenbrand published Unbroken, he has lived through - and accomplished - much. His story was resurrected, in a way, during the 1998 Winter Olympics which were held in Nagano.

At the end of those Games, CBS aired a special about Louie and his story. This is a clip from that video, produced by Draggan Mihailovich.

In his book, Devil at My Heels, Louie credits Draggan for the public's interest in him:

I'm grateful to Draggan Mihailovich, who accidentally rediscovered me and most certainly resurrected me. (Zamperini, Devil at My Heels, page 290.)

This is a clip from those "rediscovered" and "resurrected" efforts. Bob Simon, from CBS' 60 Minutes, hosts the video.
