Following the success of Slumdog Millionaire, Cornerhouse patron Danny Boyle recounts the true story of thrill-seeking climber Aron Ralston whose solo canyoneering trip in Utah’s Blue John Canyon goes horrifically wrong when he becomes trapped under a boulder. Throughout his ordeal, Ralston captured his thoughts about family, friends and lovers on camera, and these moments are re-presented on screen in an excellent performance from James Franco.
