Colonia Dignidad: Eine deutsche Sekte in Chile

German Preacher Paul Schäfer escapes a warrant for his arrest in Germany for Chile, where he sets up a private sect, with one very clear notice.

This is a very powerful documentary series, I was ignorant of most of what happened year prior to watching this, I felt this series was informative and revealing.

I haven't long watched The Jimmy Savile story, and this has similar vibes, someone in a position of power and authority, taking full advantage for their own perverse means.

Schäfer was clearly charismatic, but used his power and authority for evil means.

It's well made and put together, it's perhaps an episode or two too long, bit it is fascinating.

It seems to deviate somewhat, exploring the politics of Chile, its changes to society, new regimes etc, but all is relevant.

The interviews are explicit, and quite upsetting, certainly evoke many different feelings.

Well worth a watch, 8/10.
