DVD Reviews of NBC News Presents: Survivor - The Aron Ralston Story
DVD Review: Much better than the book
Summary: 4 Stars
Between Tom Brokaw's video and Aron Ralston's book, Tom does a much better job of giving us the heart of Aron's brush with death without getting pulled away by distracting details.
Aron's story of being pinned at the right wrist by an "800-pound boulder" and having to amputate his own hand to save his life, gripped the nation when it first hit the airwaves. The original NBC broadcast of this video is what led me to purchase Aron's stinker of a book.
If you are curious enough to want to purchase a professionally edited story, then this this DVD is for you. Avoid Aron Ralston's book, which suffers both from major plot divergences and poor writing.
If you simply cannot live without paying for the details of Aron's stunning fight for survival, then start and end with the NBC video.
