Aron Ralston - 127 Hours — North Iowa Auditorium (641-422-4188 / 888-466-4222, ext. 4188) “I stepped out of my grave and into my life again,” Aron Ralston. In 2003, Aron Ralston's extraordinary human drama grabbed headlines around the world. Now, his remarkable story is commanding the spotlight again and is captured in the brilliant film, 127 Hours. An experienced climber and avid outdoorsman, Ralston was descending a remote Utah canyon alone when an 800-pound boulder broke loose, crushing his right hand and pinning him against the canyon wall. After nearly five days without water and with no hope of escape, Ralston made a life-or-death decision. He chose life by severing his arm below the elbow and rappelling a 65-foot cliff out of the canyon. Then he trekked seven miles to find his would-be rescuers. Ralston documented his life-altering experience in the New York Times best-selling memoir, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, which has been adapted for the big screen by Danny Boyle, the Academy Award-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire. The film stars James Franco as Ralston. His performance, as well as the movie, has been nominated for numerous awards.
