Christia Visser and Alison Botha in Alison (2016)

Raped. Disemboweled. Nearly decapitated. Dumped on the outskirts of a nature reserve, dead - or so they thought. She needed a hero that night, so that's what she became. This is Alison's tale. A tale of monsters, miracles and hope.

Inspiring , horrific and satisfying .

I could not watch those monsters commit the actual crime . It was too graphic for me . However , I did watch the rest of the story. I found what she said after she survived inspiring . I also am of the same opinion as Alison that we do not value ourselves . We measure our success by our careers and the amount of wealth we have , rather than the people we are .

It is a miracle that Alison survived, Call it an act of G-D . Alison is a strong , courageous woman. A woman to be admired. I hope those 'men ' never get parole .

Incredible story, well told

Watched on Prime as a random watch. What a fascinating story. I went to school with a girl who had the same last name too and was also South African.

I couldn't believe what Alison went through and somehow, with the help of G-d, survived such a horrific ordeal with the fight of a warrior.

This film had both my partner and I gasping at times as we couldn't believe it, it was almost too eerily fantastical. The ending almost made me throw my TV through my glass paneling. I resisted the urge with the ultimate outcome.

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.

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.

Horrific and Beautiful all in one.

What Alison went through is one of the most terrifying ordeals I have ever heard of and I watch a lot of Crime Documentaries. Her recovery and her strength is truly beautiful to see. A really well made Documentary about a truly inspirational Human Being.

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.
