NBC News - Survivor: The Aron Ralston Story

Incisive and respected anchor Tom Brokaw tells the fascinating and inspirational story of hiker Aron Ralston in this compelling NBC News presentation. Ralston was trapped for six days on the bottom of a canyon in Utah, where he had been mountain climbing, when an enormous boulder crushed his arm and pinned him to the ground. Ralston documented much of his ordeal on video, leaving messages for his family and friends and working up the courage to escape the only way he could: by cutting off his own arm. This program includes scenes from that compelling footage, as well as moving in-depth interviews with Ralston and his mother.
