He Cut Off His Own Arm to Survive — The True Story of Aron Ralston

In April 2003, climber Aron Ralston went canyoneering alone in Utah's Bluejohn Canyon. An 800-pound boulder shifted and pinned his right hand to the canyon wall. With no phone, no one knowing his route, and only a little water and two burritos, he spent six days trying everything to escape — until the only way out was through the unthinkable. This is the true story of Aron Ralston — the real survival story behind the film 127 Hours — told with original research and narration.
