TL;DR Summary

HBO's docuseries "Savior Complex" explores the story of Renee Bach, a white missionary with no medical experience, who set up a malnutrition rehabilitation center in Uganda and took on the treatment of children herself. Despite facing criticism and legal action, Bach remained defiant. The documentary delves into issues of colonialism, medical ethics, religious fervor, and the limits of activism. The official tally of severely malnourished children who died under Bach's care is 105. The documentary raises questions about the justification of actions in the name of God and the exploitation of Africa by the West.
