Documentary: Savior Complex

Source: HBO

Here’s an important but disturbing story. Renee Bach was a U.S. missionary who set up a feeding clinic in Jinja, Uganda and is accused of causing the deaths of malnourished children whom she cared for despite a lack of medical training.

Explore the story in Savior Complex, a three-part HBO original documentary that premiered this week on Max. See trailer below.

Maybe, like me, you don’t have access to watch the series. But you can read an article about it in The Guardian or listen to an eight-part podcast series (The Missionary; scroll back to 2020).
