Thanks for helping us hit 28k likes on our Facebook page! In celebration of that milestone, and thanks to our friends from United International Pictures Malaysia, we’ve decided to quickly run contest for the premiere screening of “Unbroken“!
But first, a few fast facts before we get into the nitty gritty details 
Contrary to popular belief, “Unbroken” is Angelina’s third time directing a movie for the big screen. Her first directing job was a documentary titled, “A Place in Time”. She also directed “In the Land of Blood and Honey” in 2007 and the film was nominated for a Golden Globe. Angelina Jolie has garnered the biggest buzz for this latest directing vision, on top of being nominated “Best Director” for the upcoming Critics’ Choice Movie Award on 15th Jan 2015.
See Angelina Jolie at work on the set of “Unbroken” here:
“Unbroken” is a 2014 American war drama film, produced and directed by Angelina Jolie, and based on the 2010 non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand, “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption”. The film revolves around the life of USA Olympian and athlete Louis “Louie” Zamperini, portrayed by Jack O’Connell. As a boy, Louis “Louie” Zamperini is always in trouble, but with the help of his older brother, he turns his life around and channels his energy into running, later qualifying for the 1936 Olympics. When World War II breaks out, Louie enlists in the military. After his plane crashes in the Pacific, he survives an incredible 47 days adrift in a raft, until his capture by the Japanese navy. Sent to a POW (prisoner of war) camp, Louie becomes the favourite target of a particularly cruel prison commander. And “Unbroken” is his true story.
