Commissioned by Joyn in Germany and MEGA in Chile, the 8 x 52’ series centres on a mysterious Germanic cult called Colonia Dignidad, established by a former Nazi soldier in Chile, and the quest by a young federal prosecutor to bring him to justice. Based on real events, the series was shot on location at the cult’s former enclave in southern Chile.

Created by Chilean film and TV production house Invercine & Wood’s María Elena Wood and Patricio Pereira, Dignity is produced by Invercine & Wood and German producer Story House Pictures, in co-production with the Chilean television fund CNTV and MEGA. In addition to Prime Video, it has also been licensed to territories including Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.
