The Survivors: Colonia Dignidad

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.

With the arrival of democracy, the colony needs to protect itself to survive. Through the weaponization of charity, it uses the Chilean locals as its own army against the investigators from the new government. The settlers are forced to take part in a media circus, along with hundreds of children who arrive in the colony to become part of a Permanent Boarding School. But Schäfer has other plans.

The search for Schäfer continues. At the colony, a struggle for power ensues. The system crumbles when the settlers start experiencing the outside world and learn to live in freedom. But to this day, their path is strenuous, and the former Colonia Dignidad territory is the center of disputes that shake the lives of all Survivors. What are the remnants of this horror?
