   Why did you buy the book 'Alive'?

   • As I am not a book reader I firstly decided to watch the 1993 film Alive which disappointingly did not do the story any justice or the survivors and what they went through; I therefore decided to buy the book. The book is brilliant. It captures the struggle the survivors went through and explains in detail what they had to do to say alive.

   • It was the last film of producer Robert Watts. Alive was the final film from Robert Watts, the British film producer who rose to prominence working with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
   • No studio wanted to make the film for almost 20 years over fears it would be exploitative. Alive did not make it to screens until just over 20 years after the horrific real life events, and 18 years after the book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors was first published.
   • Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy agreed to make the film because of a car bumper sticker. Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images. Director Frank Marshall has admitted that at first he wasn’t sure about making Alive, but decided to go for it after experiencing a bizarre synchronicity.
   • Ethan Hawke refused to grow a full beard. We’re accustomed to seeing actors going method when taking on roles that involve the kind of physical ordeal the characters go through in Alive, losing weight and letting their hair grow for real.
