A young woman's desperate search for her abducted boyfriend draws her into a sect nobody has ever escaped from. Based on True events from 1973, Chile. Movie name = check first 10 seconds of the video.
17 more year?!?!? With the proof?!? Humanity is sickening. To all the little boys that eventually grew up after being touched by that man, I hope you have found peace and happiness.
It is a dictatorship with a military regime, what did you expect? There are many things that never saw the light of day, so what can you do with the government against you?
@@uou7170 what did you comment on her post for? lmao edit: they edited their comment so my comment became irrelevant. they had said something stupid and unnecessary before.
read on wikipedia... its even worse... the colony still exists ( since 1989 under different name and apparantly now more "open") and german goverment even knew about everything but did nothing....
I know it's always a hot topic on whether or not first world countries should help stop corruption and oppression occurring in foreign countries or if that just creates more issues, but it's this type of situation that makes me wonder why no one helped. Think of how many people were raped and abused here even though everyone in the world knew what was going on in that camp. Honestly super depressing to contemplate.
This movie was from 2015 so she isnt 30 yet but still i get your point. She still looks the same after a decade but tht just what happens when you take care of yourself. I mean its more apparent with actors ofcourse since their appearance is literally part their job.
Yes, she’s very lucky like that. Of course a consistent good diet and healthy lifestyle has helped a lot - but can’t deny good genetics. Despite her young looks, she is very mature and educated though. She’s really one of my favourite actresses!
As someone who is a true crime junkie I don't get shocked to know people like this in the world exist. What surprises me is that most normal people are denial about such violence existing. It now makes sense why violence in countries or homes are so easily swept under the rug.
Most of the people look at the world through a " pink lens ". They refuse to see the reality. The possibility your neighboor, your family or your best friend or a coworker could be doing such things to others does not enter their mind until it is too late and the cops are asking about a victim. It is easy to look the other way in order to live in your " the world is a safe place " bubble. And most of us are lucky to traverse it without seeing the horrors happening on the daily basis. It is pure stupid luck.
@@fullmoon5799 in the beginning. Must I say that in the late 90s, a lot of victims of child rape by Paul Schaffer (Pius) went to the media and fought to have the atrocities of Colonia Dignidad brough to light.
@Infinity For an even more horrific account of human suffering, just ask anyone who watches The Bachelor. They have been subjected to the cruelest torture of all: lobotomy by reality TV.
Oh my fucking god... Did that ending really happen? The fact he was so insistent on chasing them down and was able to cancel the flight. Thank fuck the guy flew off.
@@victoriafaithh lol.. everyone completely miss understands what it means to use God's name in Vain.. This movie is an example of what it actually means.. anything else is hogwash
@@Balthorium are you really justifying Pinochet’s rule. You can be against authoritarian communist governments and also be against dictators like Pinochet.
The character romance was fictionalized but the horrible person was real and was imprisoned in 2004 and died in 2010. He was said to be jailed on the counts of abuse to children and many more horrible things.
@@anupambarua3407 this is not true. Luthern? Methodist? Catholics? I only know it true in cults. And Scientology is one of them. Yes people leave, but disconnect from family still in etc.
I just realized that Americans don't know about South American history with dictatorship. It was extremely brutal and if are interested it's a big part of Latin people's culture.
Maybe because if they teach it in American schools, Americans will be forced to admit that USA messed up a lot of these countries’ politics by helping them overturn democratic/communist into dictatorship government themselves.
@@thinkforyourself2109 some groups are communist (extreme left wing), some are extreme right wingers fascists like the neo nazi one in this movie. The common theme is authoritarianism
@@99txgh I quite agree. The horseshoe theory of authoritarianism is that far left and right extremisms end up the same. They're indistinguishable at a certain point. A more accurate distinction is between state authoritarianism at one end of the spectrum and individual liberty tending towards libertarianism at the other. True conservatives are for small government. Nazis and Communists are both for big government through totalizing ideology and force. It's in the Nazi name: "National Socialism." This evil cult/ commune above is exactly how both Communism and Nazism work, but on a micro-scale.
@@thinkforyourself2109 You are aware the the 1973 Chilean Coup (the one depicted in the film) was supported by the CIA (who helped orchestrate it) to overthrow a democratically elected liberal socialist government right. How could could possibly blame communists for this when it was a collaboration between a deeply capitalist country and an authoritarian right wing military Junta to overthrow a socialist government, which led to the persecution of Chilean leftists?
@@syedabdulkarimshah8799 is this a "any female born after 1993 can’t cook… all they know is mcdonald’s , charge they phone, twerk, be bisexual , eat hot chip & lie" kinda thing
@@soma_01 Mack I Don't Really Interfere With The Western Culture But, Now Eastern Muslim Countries Are Also Effected By This So Called Concept Of FEMINISM, One Must Keep There Culture To Themselves Don't Pose It To Others.
@@syedabdulkarimshah8799 basic feminism is great. That men and women are equal under law. Both have the freedom to choose their partners. Or choose how they want to live their lives. Freedom of movement. And rights to life, liberty, and to vote. Plus the right to choose whether to have a career, family, or both The negative feminism is the idea that men are always aggressive and masculinity is a bad thing. That men should be ashamed of themselves. And that women should never want families but only a career.
@@claudeyaz I'm Just Against The Second One, First One Is Also a Part Of Our Believe, In Eastern Muslim Population, That's Another Debate That If We Act According To It, Our Believes Come From From Our Religion, And Most Of The Religious Population In The East Don't Act According To It, That's Why West Always Roast The Whole Religion But Not The Act Of A Person.
What's more disgusting is how the real life Pius continued his abuses for another 22 more years, then lived in hiding in an expensive gated community for another 8 years, before finally going to prison for only 5 years and dying at a ripe old age of 88.
That pilot literally had their lives in his hands. And the fact that this movie is true. Right after the atrocities of WW2. Jesus Christ this planet sucks ass. No wonder Aliens don't visit us.
The pilot named Roman did the right thing to get both Lena and Daniel out of Chile to bring them to safety. I'm pretty sure he knew that those evil people serving that bastard Shafer would have chosen to kill him too if he hadn't chosen to have the courage to disobey the flight cancellation.
For anyone wondering: "Based on true story" means pretty much that, while the cult, all the people aside the main characters, the antagonist, the crimes on and on are real. The main characters are fictional, which makes the whole film and story fictional. I think the end pretty much shows it very well.
I got about a minute into this video, and my interest was immediately piqued so I stopped it, and watched the film. Just finished it. Very good. And educational, as I had little to no idea just how bad things were in Chile.
yeah in the 70's,US atacks all of south ameria left countrys from whitin and well, chaos in politics allow this kind of shit to happen, Actually in the last 3 weeks (im from chile) the news have been talking about how in the dictatorship of pinochet the state kidnapped and sell babys from public hospitals to be adopted in sweden
yeah and we still live the aftermath of the dictatorship of that era. We have a presidentatial candidate who negates this kind of things happened, i mean WTF
I wouldn't have been born of Pinochet's rule didn't start faltering at the end because my dad left Chile to come to Brazil for a better life and met my mother there. Everytime I asked my grandmother about how life was under Pinochet, she refuses to go into detail. Chilean people's wounds are still open, I fear
I wish this film had a cinematic release or more promotion upon its release. Honestly Emma Watson’s best performance in my opinion. I understand people find her wooden but she did so damn well in Colonia. Chilling film, I was on edge the whole time.
As a chilean i can confirm all of this and the fact that we are still fighting this same war and that many childrens, women and men were indeed abused, tortured and dissapeared to never be seeing again, on that and many others camps
The shower scene with the kids I swear the disgust I felt!! Man really saId I can smell filth in the air, guess he was talking bout himself all along~~
@@fxyuin3765 what about people that ignore them or don’t care or think “non of my business”. Or the judicial system that really can’t manage crimes done in the home or take care of the children left
@@yucol5661 I don't know about people like that. Not all humans are like that. I was also saved by a good human once from a p3do. The main thing is all p3dos need to be killed by any means possible. Their very existence is unacceptable.
Well there's still forced labor and atrocious working conditions, "re-education" camps all over the world like Singapore, China, Qatar, Saudi etc. Its dog eat dog. Everyone for themselves. There is no savior and definitely not someone halfway around the world.
I remember I was reading Harry Potter when they announced in the radio Emma Watson was in Chile. I really thought my mom would drive me 8+ hours to the north so I could meet her LMAO.
Oh my god! It's really horrifying that all this has really happened and really hard to believe. Didn't know Emma Watson had role in this kind of movie.
@@thorpe2511 I heard that and thought, "oh, baby..." Poor Emma, these kinds of roles are so challenging because your brain doesn't know it isn't really happening when you're acting well. 🙁
The problem with these "based on a true story" movies, is you never know what was inserted based off of here say or is straight made up by writers to make the story more interesting, idk, if this was real, its sad what being physically weak in comparison to someone else can allow them to do to you. One riffle and she could have ended years of abuse and torture for dozens of innocent people. But violence is scary , so we run from it.
When I heard Allende I had a general idea of what was gonna happen. I’ve learned briefly of the dictatorships in Chile when learning about the life of Isabell Allende, a well known writer
So the man has been in Chile for four months and feel like he knows what the country really needs but when shit hits the fan, he now claims he’s a foreigner. Chileeee siddawn
6:55 "Pius is saying a bunch of religious stuff..." "The women are in the next room channelling their energy or whatever." This almost sounds like you're irritated just describing the whole thing and I can't blame you.
@vlntn by the way, people were dieing of hunger when Allende had the power, so a lot of people had to change leave the country, he also expropriated a lot of companies making the country more poor and generating more hunger (there are a lot of books/old news that talk about how workers were complaining about the treatment they had when Allende expropriated) I am not defending Pinochet, he did a lot of bad things, but Allende is not good either.
@@scubywithurp9582 nah this is pretty much a classic Pinochet, anti communist talking point. "Hey i may be horrific but the democratically elected president i murdered with US aid to take charge was no angel either"
If I remember correctly, and if I'm not mixing up the stories, the true story was far worse than this Edit: nevermind, I confused this with another worse cult called the Anthill Cult. Wendigoon did an amazing video on it, I recommend it.
@@fxyuin3765 now, there are kind of a lot of violent secret cults, so I might be wrong. But, I think this was called the Anthill cult, or something with Ant in the name. I recommend Wendigoon, a hella fun RU-vidr that goes into history, theories, and horror stuff, and he did a video about it. I think the picture for the video had a bearded man in black and white with a yellow title beside his face, or something to that degree, so that should help narrow it down. If I remember, I'll give you a link in a bit
Yah… my aunt lived there as a young girl. I have photos and recordings. There were no legal or otherwise, consequences to the crimes committed on the girls and boys, and young women. Probably never will be.
I like Harry Potter. Thus, any movie that has Daniel Radcliffe/Emma Watson or Rupert Grint, is officially a Harry Potter movie for me. *including this*
This movie is of the time period made after the USA funded millitary coup of Chile that overthrown president El salvador... there is a very good speech of president el salvador hours before his death broadcasted through radio... its so terrible that because of power play games of certain rich superpowers poor countries had to suffer so bad😔
@@estelaangeles2346 well India had never invaded any country yet.. and china is trying to invade india since 1962... when even CIA tried to cause trouble in north eastern states of India.. like sikkim and even in the south.. to try and divide india and to discredit indian scientist's like nambi narayanan.. so that India's space exploration gets delayed... India's stance has always been clear since 1947... develop though self... get rid of foreign interference... US was the one which supported rise of military power in pakistan and supported the dictatorial regime of china... so um.. I dont think India will ever start an apocalypse against the world... in India we consider world as a large family... and one does not create appocalypse against family... India is way ahead than china or US in actuall philatrophic grounds
I won’t say witch country but I am from South America and my grandpa met a lot of refugees from Chile and most are still friends with him, many tragic events happened in this time and I remember lessening to a singer called Victor Jara that got executed after being tortured for a couple of months, he was a great musician and made great music and to this day some of his songs are still popular and even traditional in many towns in South America
I was not expecting to get this video when i first clicked, and the story ploy shocked me, and i was even more shocked it’s based on a true story that’s insane and terrifying
Being a first gen American hispanic... really hurts. I visit El Salvador quite a bit during the summer and I feel a close connection to Central America. It pains me how much the US has either ignored the pain of others or used it for their own benefit with no regard to the humanity in the people they hurt.
lol idky ppl put an unreasonable amt of blame on the USA. First you complain we're the worlds police, then complain we dont police enough. You complain we install fascism then complain we dont install communism. You put none of the blame on these countries own govt leaders for killing their own w impunity... yes, American politics seeks self-interest more than the interest of other govts that may or may not threaten democracy in the future, but in the end the failure falls on ur govt fior failing to deliver on its promise toprotect your people. Capitalism is actually the very reason the world is UPLIFTING from poverty. You wouldnt be online without it.
Kind of tilted reading more about this and I found out the initial military revolt/scenes were fueled by none other than the USA :( I think it was part of operation condor which was a CIA's operation aimed at exterminating communism in South America. I do know that the operation caused mass disappearances (los disaparesidos) throughout South America. However I'm fairly certain people did not even really know about or care about communism back then at least in Argentina. Anyway operation condor ended up being labeled as a means to kill dissidents, not communists, and the CIA proceeded to kill totally innocent people for their opinions, it was most common for them to be university students, they would fly over the rio de la plata and throw the students in with their bellies cut so they would sink. Dear USA politicians, fuck you for what your doing, what you did, and what you are planning to do.
In Chile communism was big, it still is, before 1948 were they became illegal, they were among the biggest political parties at the time, and even after they still were, they just changed their name but people knew it was them
They did that kind of thing all over the world where they had vested interests, then left the country way worse off than they found it after they couldn't (often literally) bleed anymore out of it and its people. And, yes, all under the guise of 'freedom' and 'democracy'.
Been meaning to watch it. I’m a Hermione fan. But obviously never found a reason to actually watch it so u started watching the recap. It looks really good, so i stopped 😆 I’ll try to watch it tonight.
To think of all the things they don't teach you in history class. This is such a tragic story with an even more tragic and depressing ending. I hope the souls who were tortured, abused, harmed, and murdered have somehow found peace.
When I was 16 I went there twice, it's a beautiful place filled with green areas but that gives you an strange feeling all the time; we visited his house, he had a big piano, and big windows, but his room was closed to the public; we also visited the cemetery, it was quiet, and very far away, and on our way there we saw the place were they kept the dogs, and the entries to the tunnels that were on the floor, and the land they had to cultivate their food, it was really vast, they must have suffered so much when they recollected the food...
