Surviving a Sinister Sect: Chile’s Colonia Dignidad



A survivor of Chile’s Colonia Dignidad unites with a journalist and a lawyer in a 20-year struggle to find justice and freedom.

In 2003, Franz Baar escaped Colonia Dignidad, a German cult-like sect in Chile, hoping for freedom.

After surviving decades of torture and abuse, he joined forces with a journalist and a lawyer to expose the sect and its cult-like leader. The three have been by each other’s side ever since.

But Franz and his wife struggle to reintegrate into society. Reluctantly, they return to live in a house on the land of the former colony where they soon find themselves ostracised. In an act of desperation, Franz does the unthinkable which leads to his imprisonment.
