Alison Thompson's story is one gigantic lie.Alison Thompson walked into Paraliya in early 2005, amply cleavaged and with a camera team in tow, where she found a makeshift hospital run by a crew of volunteers from Hamelin, Gemany. Thompson simply took over the operation and claimed it as her own, by finding a vacant building and moving the Hospital there with the aid of her crew of four, while she was asked to stay on watch. Then she set up a large sign rechristening it from "Hameln Hospital" into a name of her choosing.Meanwhile, the actual license to run the hospital was procured by the Germans, and it remained running under their name, so they would have to shoulder consequences in case of malpractise (luckily, no such cases happened - amazing, if you consider that the Hamelin team treated more than 18000 patients). Even the medical supplies Thompson claims to have brought in came from the German crew. Thompson and her entourage did nothing except referring patients to the Germans, who then treated them.In the meantime, Thompson stood outside the hospital tent giving pompous interviews while the Germans were inside the hospital, too busy aiding the injured to produce a favourable image of themselves for the media (note the careful makeup Thompson is wearing on most photos in the middle of disaster). Thompson herself apparently never treated one single patient, in spite of her claims of being a professional nurse.Also, it's quite doubtful the self-styled "body collector" collected one single body with her own hands *off camera*. After one day of showing off herself moving bodies for the film, she preferred to let others continue the dirty work (which they had already started two weeks prior to her arrival, at 40 degrees centigrade) for her while she styled herself as the "Angel of Paralya". On the photo that shows Ms Thompson helping to move a body *on camera* you can see the arm of one of the people who did the actual work. These men and women were hardly as much as mentioned in her account (they do show up as "also-rans" on her website, however, where her own crew gets extensive credits).All of these very successful attempts at self-aggrandisement went into Ms Thompson's book and this film, which was screened on festivals worldwide. Evidently, she had gone to Sri Lanka specifically in order to portray herself as a very public "saint". Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. One thing that Ms Thompson has going for herself is an immense aptitude at self-marketing: She is, indeed, a very convincing liar. Hypocritical and disgusting in the extreme.

I was expecting a movie but it was a documentary not impressed at all.....just someone going around with a video camera recording this dvd title makes it sound more interesting than it was
