Is there a secret plan to create a Jewish state in South America?
Deep in the remote, breathtaking wilds of Patagonia, spanning the southernmost regions of Argentina and Chile, lies a controversial theory that has sparked decades of debate: Plan Andinia.
In this investigative documentary, we journey to Patagonia to explore the origins of this concept. In his 1897 foundational book The Jewish State, modern Zionism founder Theodor Herzl famously weighed two potential locations for a Jewish homeland: Palestine and Argentina. While mainstream historians reject the idea of a secondary state in Patagonia as a distortion of Herzl’s work, the theory persists.
We sit down with key representatives of the South American Jewish community, local historians, and critics of Zionism in both Chile and Argentina to unpack the facts.
