Episode Overview

Colonia Dignidad, the most sinister cult in Latin America, was dismantled years ago. During the COVID-19 crisis, its former settlers report that the old system has returned. Meanwhile, the Survivors tell us about the cult’s dark beginnings: the kidnappings of numerous children in Germany and the excuse of assisting the orphans after the earthquake in Chile that gave rise to a real slave camp.

Series Overview

The series explores the hidden truths behind the idyllic German-themed amusement park once home to Nazis, torture chambers, extreme medical experiments, and Chile's most dangerous cult. Colonia Dignidad ('Dignity Colony') was a unique case in the world. It was a sect and an evil empire based upon sexual abuse and exploitation.
