Alison you warrior

This is a tale of a warrior woman, who survived the devil himself. And she's a living proof that miracles do exist. It's gruesome to watch and your jaw will drop several times but her strength it's the most impressive part of all.

Story of belief

What a story of belief and hanging on even at your lowest point. Excellent film!

Easily one of the most amazing, powerful things I've ever seen...

I'm a paramedic so I may look at this differently than some. I can't imagine any way that her body survived this attack, but even beyond that, if you can believe it, her spirit survived, and that is nothing short of a miracle.

It's very graphic, so if you are triggered, or delicate to such things you should probably pass it by. But my life is much better because I've seen this movie.

I've seen some criticize the way that it's presented. I personally think that it's perfect in every way.

I'm willing to bet that you've never heard a story like this before, and I'll bet dollars to donuts that you never will again. It's that incredible.

Super powers is the ONLY possible explanation here

Your senses will be tested to the limit while you watch this documentary. You will feel confused and ask yourself how is this possible about one thousand times. The only possible explanation is that this woman is indeed an exception to humanity and she has been blessed with super powers of strength and resilience. You are about witness a super woman in the flesh.

As good as the book

I heard Alison live many years ago when she was in Empangeni doing a talk, what an incredible story, I purchased the book and was hooked, every time I need some inspiration I go back to the book and read it again.

This movie is just WOW, it is graphic about what happened it's based on fact. I can not imagine how she survived this attack but the movie allows you to hear Alison talk about what happened in her own words and and connect with all the people that assisted her.

Its a must watch!

Quotes
Alison Botha: I will never drive in a car without locking the doors. I will never again watch a film without marveling at every camera angle and the lighting and knowing how many people are in the room watching the person voice her thoughts. I will never again stop myself from crying when I feel the need. I will never again see a butterfly without taking it as a sign just for me.
