RALEIGH, N.C. -- Seven months after North Carolina's favorite son, the late Rev. Billy Graham passed away, the longtime revered evangelist's grandson, Will, is taking on the role of his grandfather in a new film.

Unbroken: Path to Redemption tells the story of a World War II hero who's fighting inner demons, that is until he hears the words of a young Billy Graham.

Spectrum News anchor Caroline Blair spoke with Will Graham and Luke Zamperini, the son of Louise, who the film was based on. Both men say it was an honor to be involved and to witness the film that is beautiful, touching, and also inspiring.

While not an actor but rather a preacher himself, Will Graham said it was incredible to get to play his grandfather in this unique roll, preaching the actual sermon Bill Graham gave on that special night in California back in 1949.

Unbroken: Path to Redemption is in theaters next week.
