Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Profugos was HBO Latin America's first original drama, proving Chile could produce prestige TV that rivaled US counterparts. It opened doors for the country's film industry explosion.

Trivia

The desert highway chase in episode 7 was shot in one continuous take using a rigged camera truck—the stunt driver was actually the cinematographer's brother, hired last minute when the original driver got cold feet.
