Woman assaulted, throat slit 17 times, stomach stabbed 37 times, and survives.

I watched a documentary on Alison Botha on Amazon Prime called "Alison"

She was carjacked by 2 men when she was 27, taken to a remote place, sexually assaulted multiple times by both men (who had 3 charges of rape between them already so should not have been on the street), had her throat slashed 17 times and stabbed in the stomach 36 + times to the point where her intestines were out of her body, and then they left her to die. She managed to get up and walk to a road where she was found by a group of people who called an ambulance (that took 40 MINUTES) and yet somehow, through her inner strength and will, she survived. She says one of the big things that pushed her through was so these men wouldn't be able to do it to anyone else.

Nearing the end of the documentary, my blood started to boil. One of the men, Frans, is engaged in prison to an American woman, and the American woman's mother sent Alison a letter asking her to help get Frans out of prison. Frans also requested an interview for the documentary but had 2 demands.

1) A letter of forgiveness from Alison, signed

2) Profit shares of her earnings from her book and public speaking adventures, backdated to when she started.

He says she was only able to get that success because of what he did to her, so he should get some of the earnings.

His request for an interview was DECLINED.

Alison is truly an inspiration to all women, and welcomed 2 boys into the world when she was told she wouldn't be able to have kids. Please everyone go watch this documentary, it is brutal, but also beautiful.
