Angelina Jolie screens Unbroken for Pope Francis
Angelina Jolie has visited Pope Francis in Vatican City to give him a special screening of her movie Unbroken.

In a statement released to Usmagazine.com, Jolie says, "Being
invited with my film to the Vatican is an honour and a great
tribute to the story that I have told in Unbroken. The story of the
hero Louis is a great example of strength and forgiveness."

aware of the incredible life story of Louis Zamperini, graciously
welcomed the opportunity to view the film."
