A Sinister Sect: Colonia Dignidad

The rise of a poor German lay preacher to one of the mightiest men in Latin America, who – after a 40 year reign – was defeated by a group of Chilean boys. The history of the German sect "Colonia Dignidad", told through the eyes of those who lived in it, who endured it, who fought it, all brought to life by exclusive, never before seen archive material.
