    Set in Northern Minnesota, we meet Leah, a junk food eating scientist, and Bill, an accomplished ultra-marathoner who just can’t seem to finish this incredibly challenging race. They run, bike or ski 135 miles over three days in the solitary woods, sometimes hallucinating and barely stopping to rest or sleep in the snow without getting frostbite or freezing to death.

    What can we learn from them about life, love and happiness?

    “40 Below: The Toughest Race in the World” will be shown at Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 10-16. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Thursday, Jan. 10, 11 and 16 at 4:00 p.m.; and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 13, 14 and 15 at 7:00 p.m.

    Tickets are $12 general admission, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.  For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
