• The series features first‑hand accounts from survivors and former legionaries, including José Barba, Juan José Vaca and Alejandro Espinosa, alongside journalists and researchers.
• Producers say a roughly seven‑year investigation underpins the four‑part narrative, assembling archival material and on‑the‑record reporting into a comprehensive account.
