Alison is a 2016 South African documentary film directed, written and produced by Uga Carlini.
The film is based on the real life abduction, rape, stabbings, abandonment and then survival of Alison Botha in 1994.
[3] The documentary is based on the Marianne Thamm book, I Have Life, published by Penguin Random House.
Alison is a triumphant, deeply personal and fairytale-like account of a woman who, after enduring a horrific incident in which she is raped, stabbed and disemboweled, refuses to become a victim.
Built around intimate interview sessions, this is a story of monsters, miracles and hope in the new South Africa.
