Plot Synopsis

How do some people defy death and survive savage animal attacks? These inidividuals usually find the strength to stay alive because of their determination to live and the thoughts of their loved ones. "I'm Alive" replays these survival stories of near-fatal attacks, using victim interviews and true-to-life reenactments to show that an animal can't match the tenacity and will of a person who is determined to live. You'll hear the stories of: Officer Brandon Parker, who was bitten by a deadly diamondback and kept himself alive by repeatedly screaming his daughter's name; Kasey Edward, who had his arm torn away by an alligator and swam with only one arm to the safety of his friends; Mike Makens, who risked his own safety to get anti-venom for his son's black widow spider bite.
