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.
About The Survivors: Colonia Dignidad
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.
