Alison (film)

The documentary is based on the Marianne Thamm book, I Have Life, published by Penguin Random House. Alison combines re-enactments with interviews to tell the story of a South African woman who endured a horrific incident in which she is raped, stabbed and disemboweled. The film’s hybrid style has a fairytale quality, turning participants into archetypes. Built around intimate interview sessions, is a story of “monsters, miracles and hope”. The film goes beyond the horrific events to explore the woman herself and how she helped others through her life. ==Cast==
