The Devil's Islands, a tropical prison complex, built on three small islands in French Guyana, South America, is shrouded in mystery and darkness. For over a century, it was infamous for its harsh conditions and brutal treatment of prisoners. Some prisoners, like the "butterfly" Henry Charrière, became legends, escaping the islands and immortalized in films like Papillon. Now, 50 years after its closure, a team led by Jean-Christophe Jeauffre explores the remnants of this "Green Hell" and uncovers the secrets of the forgotten souls who met their doom there.
