A Sinister Sect: Colonia Dignidad

In the shadow of dictator Augusto Pinochet's regime, a group of German Christians established a colony in Chile, led by a charismatic and manipulative leader. They sought to create a utopian society, but their ideals soon descended into darkness, as they became complicit in the state's oppression and violence. Through exclusive interviews and archival footage, this documentary series exposes the sinister tactics employed by Colonia Dignidad's leadership, and the devastating impact they had on their followers and the surrounding community. The series delves into the psychological manipulation, physical abuse, and forced labor that were all part of life within the sect, and explores the AN important question: how could a community of believers turn into an instrument of oppression?
