In 1917, U.S. sailors arrived on Clipperton Island and discovered something horrifying: a skeletal woman and starving children stumbling from the wreckage of a forgotten colony. For three years, a group of women and children had survived isolation, starvation, and the tyrannical rule of one man—Victoriano Álvarez.This is the true story of Clipperton Island, a desolate atoll abandoned during the Mexican Revolution, where a military outpost descended into madness. As food ran out and men died, Álvarez declared himself king, wielding violence, fear, and control—until a group of women made a bold and bloody choice to end the nightmare.Join me as we explore this overlooked chapter in survival history: the women who endured it, the evil they faced, and the terrifying psychology of power and isolation.🎧 Prefer audio?
