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.

Just as not all the Survivors have lived their stories the same way, not all of the colony's victims grew up in the fortress that was the enclave. The Chilean victims from the region also have a story to tell, a story linked to power and the political spider web from a time of horror that is still echoing in their lives and the Chilean nation.
