A young missionary named Renee Bach left her comfortable life in America to start a malnutrition program in rural Uganda. Folks back home and in Uganda praised her as a model missionary -- an example of the healing power of God’s message. But a decade later she’s accused of masquerading as a doctor and rumored to have killed hundreds of children in her unlicensed clinic. How did Renee Bach end up here? Is she a case of good intentions gone wrong...or a predator posing as a saint? Hosted and reported by journalists Rajiv Golla, Halima Gikandi and Malcolm Burnley.

Customer Reviews
thumbs up
This podcast is definitely underrated! I’m surprised that not many people have heard of it!
I think this podcast sheds light on to the white saviour complex (which continues to fascinate me). I am not a religious person so I find it interesting and strange that missionaries believe they were “called by god” to go “save” these people.
(The only thing I didn’t like about this podcast is the forced way Halima spoke, it sounded like an uncomfortable news report)
Language is very biased - good story though
I think the story was compelling enough without the narrators needing to sound so biased.
Phrases like “ in other words” where the narrator then rewords someone’s quote … just unnecessary.
Definitely a story that needed to be told.
Stop picking on Halima
Excellent podcast.
