Angelina Jolie is finding her new film, Unbroken, under fire and facing a possible ban in Japan, with nationalists calling her a "Demon" and racist for the portrayal of torture on Prisoners of War (POW) in Japanese war camps during World War II.
The movie directed by Jolie is based on the 2010 nonfiction book by Laura Hillenbrand about the life of Olympic athlete, Louis Zamperini, who survived a plane crash, only to be taken prisoner and made to endure physical and mental abuse as a prisoner of war.
The book had previously won numerous honors and awards, including the number one spot of Time Magazine's Top 10 Nonfiction Books in 2010, a shortlist mention in the 2011 Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and longlisted for Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction in 2012.
Jolie's film adaptation of the book is set to be released on Boxing day.
