This film is inspired by Colonia Dignidad started by Nazi pedophile Paul Schafer. Schafer fled to Chile and began the religious cult. It's a place I had never heard about, but one I want to research now. It's shocking getting a glimpse into what life was like in this place. Emma Watson is fantastic.
Lena (Emma Watson) a stewardess reunites with her German boyfriend Daniel (Daniel Bruhl) in Chile. Daniel is an activist fighting against Communism until General Pinochet assumes power. He is captured, tortured and brought to Colonia Dignidad. Here the men and women lead separate with Schafer (Michael Nyqvist) saying it is to keep everyone from feeling and experiencing impure thoughts. Despite the dangers, Lena joins the cult in order to rescue Daniel.
It was a thrilling watch and it is obvious why Watson chose this role. Lena is a strong woman and Watson brings her talent and intelligence to the role.
