Intrigued to see how HBO covers this because this story isn't that grey, she had no medical training, administered her google search earned medical training on at risk children, and that intervention killed them. Will be severely disappointed if it tries to instill any level of sympathy towards someone this psychopathically delusional because the only reason she's not in jail is because she's American and this happened in a different country.
And she's religious. I was raised in an extremist evangelical community, with siblings who were "missionaries" and the exponential multiplies of her being a white American christian woman all amount to a deference of authorities as to what the reality is of their doings in other countries.
Why is she not in jail?
@Mel Hudsonreasons listed above: blonde, white, christian and american otherwise known as the Karen quadfecta.
It's called 'Savior Complex'... I doubt it's going to be a sympathetic portrayal.
American, and also, don’t forget: pretty, blond, and of course, a white woman.
The fact that she’s doing this documentary and not imprisoned for her actions… she contributed to the death of 105 children. I hope the funds from the series go to those she hurt due to her negligence
Many more would have died if it wasnt for her.
@u1es you can keep that notion
But is there evidence to support those allegations? You don’t have to prove innocence in a court of law; you do have to prove guilt.
105 children?
She never killed children or do surgery on them. These children were severely malnourished and she gave them iv drips etc. Things that are taught in courses. Some of these children were about to die and died in her care. Some people blamed her for the deaths but she didn't do anything wrong. She wast cleared by Uganda officials. They even proved that some people were trying to blackmail her for money.
So sick of people blaming it on the colour of her skin. Does anyone ever do actual non bias research anymore?
What Renee did was abhorrent. There is no excuse. It was unethical, self-serving, and reckless. She is responsible for over 100 child deaths. It’s horrific. If she had done what she did in the US, then she would be behind bars. I truly cannot believe that instead of being arrested she is getting a docuseries. This is shameful and it is insulting to all the families she took advantage of and to the children endangered and killed.
That's awful. This is the first I'm hearing of this. Hopefully the docu sends the message to give the justice these children and their families deserve. No medical training and poking kids with needles it's just nuts. How did they die? Is she some Munchausen case or what?
How do you know that those patients wouldn't have died anyway? And did she administer treatment herself or instead manage the clinic, with the treatment delivered by qualified staff?
And do you know why they died ofr do you know how many she saved???
Why do you assume the docuseries makes Renee out to be a hero? Just from this trailer, it's pretty clear that it's a critical look at what she did. She's not "getting a docuseries". A docuseries was made about her actions. Those things are not the same.
"Let he who has never sinned be the first to pick a stone...and throw it at Renee" 😆 That got me.
IKR? That was savage- not looking forward to finding out what Renee did to her child (assuming she lost a child of her own due to Renee's incompetence).
@Trigger BunnyPerhaps her child died but doesn’t it sound like she is still defending Renee?
The Bible has nothing to do with this, it's called common sense
@Otter Donnelly That was my understanding too - the saying means that no one is perfect, so no one can judge, and she's saying "only someone who's perfect and who has never messed up can judge/come for Renee"
@Trigger Bunnyit sounds like she's defending renee actually
The fact that HBO is interviewing her at all and giving her a platform to spew lies when it is well known she had no medical training or licensing for her facility, that is just plain wrong. She should be locked up!
I dont understand what you're saying ?
@David Rojas Renee Bach, the subject of the documentary, shouldn’t be getting screen time and getting interviewed at all. She hasn’t faced any consequences for what she did, and now this is just an opportunity for her to lie about what she was doing.
Yet they won't have the Sound Of Freedom on MAX.
@Holly Zimmerman neither any documentaries of any seriel killers. And yet people consume them
@S.T the Trini 🇹🇹 why would Max have sound of freedom to stream? They don't own sound of freedom 🤦♂️🤡🤦♂️
“I feel like I’ve taken the hit for every white person in Uganda” yiiiikes that gives me all the answers to her guilt I need
As a Ugandan, I'm hearing about this for the first time. why doesn't such news get to the whole country. thank God for this trailer 🙏
Her story has been around for a while. Even some parents sued her though I don’t know how it ended. America basically protects its citizens, even when, like in her case, we’re talking about horrific crimes. It’s sad that our country’s big serial killer is at large
Her story went viral years ago in Uganda
Oh she's profiting from this documentary after her evil deeds. This is not something to be thankful for.
Are there really malnourished babies to the point of death there?
This is disgusting. Clearly Renee's reputation matters more than the lives she took from hundreds of children. She's a serial killer who targeted a marginalized group just like Dahmer
100%. Children as well. This impending extinction can't come fast enough.
“Do you think Renee is a murderer?”
That isn’t a good question it’s an easy one. Yes she is, PERIOD!!! The intention is irrelevant what matters is the result.
@Westy boiyou forgot that they said she had no medical training, stop defending a killer
@Michael K. But she did do courses to give IV's?? The children died cause they were on the brink of death. The "killer" theory happened cause she settled on the civil suit. Read the transcripts of the civil suit and exactly what happened. She would of won but stress got the better of her. Only 2 parents brought on a civil suit cause the others knew the circumstances. They were 50/50 to death. Many, many more would of died without her care. She's being crucified for trying to save lives
Right. Straight up a serial killer
@Westy boiwere you there when she was treating the children? Stop acting like you saw this with your eyes to be saying the children were “on the brink of death”. She literally prevented some children from going to hospitals so she could “treat them”.
A 19 year old cannot drink in the USA but can practice medicine in Uganda!?!?! If HBO was looking for a story to tell, then tell the stories of her victims and their familes and how she fled Uganda. Shame on HBO
Shame on HBO for what?
@David Rojas HBO is the only sharing her story, helping her portray herself as a victim.
@Moralay it's a documentary. Do you know how documentaries work 🙃🤡🤣🤦♂️
This charity was a business. There are videos of former members of the charity speaking about how they profited from donations, pretended to help when they had no expertise or experience in medicine, construction & education and that many of the children were used as props to make videos to influence more ppl to donate. I am surprised she even agreed to do this and expose herself further.
You think the people working for charities WORK for free? 😂🤣
@N.W.A. spending the money on lavish vacations is part of the salary I suppose. Former members have videos talking about this, it's a Google away
Probably for more exposure that leads to more scams
She never killed children or do surgery on them. These children were severely malnourished and she gave them iv drips etc. Things that are taught in courses. Some of these children were about to die and died in her care. Some people blamed her for the deaths but she didn't do anything wrong. She was cleared by Uganda officials. They even proved that some people were trying to blackmail her for money.
So sick of people blaming it on the colour of her skin. Does anyone ever do actual non bias research anymore?
HBO has no right to portray her as a person who wanted to help. It is outragous.
You watched it already? Because I did not get that from the trailer.
@Jefferson Camargoshe isn’t in prison! That’s all that needs to be seen.
EXACTLY!
Well blame the Africans for allowing this to happen…
HBO isn't doing Ugandans justice. She should also be in prison.
She KILLED kids due her negligence. So WHY is she being treated like a victim?? Did she ever apologize to the families? Did she serve time? I hope this "documentary" bombs or that it becomes so popular, people will call for real justice to take place.
Hope a documentary bombs ?
So did she make those children malnourished to the point of death? How did those kids get to that point in the first place? This is the first I'm hearing of this story.
@Cici Corellno she did not make those children malnourished, she provided “medical attention” (experiments) on them despite having no proper education.
The fact that that devil is interviewed from the comfort of her living room instead of behind bars tells you enough, and the fact that those 105 children’s and their families suffering and trauma is commodified as entertainment whilst that witch is elevated into a place of innocence and good will in the eyes of the public is disgusting and I hate it.
OMG, I don't know where to start.
She never killed children or do surgery on them. These children were severely malnourished and she gave them iv drips etc. Things that are taught in courses. Some of these children were about to die and died in her care. She saved heaps of kids from dying. They have no medical professionals available. She was there on my hope. Some people blamed her for the deaths but she didn't do anything wrong. She was cleared by Uganda officials. They even proved that some people were trying to blackmail her for money.
Does anyone ever do actual non bias research anymore?
@Westy boiat the end of the day she’s not a real doctor and she’s playing with their lives because she doesn’t know what she’s doing
This is the society we live in. 2050 will be the start of something new as mother nature continues her cleanse.
Ignorance combined with piety is the most deadly combination in history. Well meaning but uninformed and dogmatically thinking individuals cause exponentially more pain and death than malicious psychopaths.
See re Doctor ("Doctor"?) Joseph Ladapo in Floriduh.
This goes beyond ignorance if you want to help and you don't know how you ask for guidance. Usually from the same people you're trying to help. This lady just wanted to feel good about herself.
This comment is uninformed and dogmatic.

A lot of lessons to be learned from this Documentary.
Do you want to help or do you want to feel good about yourself?
Normally, when you want to help, you seek the proper ways to do it. But if you want to feel good about yourself, you will do anything to get that instant gratification.
Doesn't matter what her intent was- if she caused a life to end by pure ignorance...still manslaughter.
Exactly I'm struggling to see the issue here if kids died from her care
@Shy knit I literally had never heard of this woman until I watched this trailer & that was my take away. I would have to guess that it's complications due to international laws mostly.
That logic would apply to every politician, corporate CEO, and cop in the world.
@Joe Smith it applies to any human being. That being said, corruption of those you mentioned to keep them from ever seeing the consequences of their actions is a whole other problem..lol
She didn't cause anyone to die. The local hospital had a higher death rate. And she was investigated by the Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council and found to have done nothing wrong. She was helping severely ill children who were starving to death. And if she hadn't been there they would have just died in the streets.
"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
― Steven Weinberg
Lol
Makes me think of Ashli Babbitt. I'm sure in her head, God told her to overturn the election for Trump/Jesus, but got herself deleted in the middle of a coup instead.
I would add, that for good people to do evil it takes *ideology*....doesn't have to be religion...
@RABD just when i thought the Steven Weinberg quote was dumb…. geez
she deserves to be in prison, not have a documentary painting her out as some white knight. disgusting.
the angry "you know whos" have arrived...
It dosen't seem like they are saying she did good from this trailer.
I have to be honest, I don't think the nice HBO documentary people were entirely truthful with her about what this show would be about
@Carly Crays I think like everything else this woman has done, she heard what she wanted to hear and engaged in some magical thinking in order to assume that she would come off well
@Tom Acker Yeah, the delusion is real.
Ive seen comments saying that the rate of death for her organization was 11% vs the rate of 40% for that region. Folks, that comparison is illogical. A proper comparison would be between her organization and an organization with trained medical staff - because that was what the people of this region thought they were getting and should have received. Suggesting that people of the region should just be happy with the faulty dangerous help they got because without that "help" it would have been worse is unacceptable.
Yes, but what you don't seem to want to accept is that she is only there because there is no alternative facility with trained medical staff, available to these people locally, sufficient to care for all of them. A proper comparison would be the reality of the situation which is with her, 11% death. Without her, 40%. Can you guess which # is larger? Any parent can choose to take their child to her, or not, to instead go somewhere else. I am highly in favor of their being a better alternative in both training and facility quality. Until then, you work with what you have.
If this woman would have done this to children in the states, she would be in prison.
Facts 😢
Its Uganda. Really, anything goes there if a foreign NGO is bringing in money in some way. They were happy with her until they weren't any longer.
Are you certain? They have child labor and so many problems in the states and those problems are getting worse!
100% is a typo, correct answer is 1,000% and that's my final answer
Can’t wait until the “documentary” tells us the intention is all that really matters
It's a documentary
HBO why are you doing this? Giving her a platform and portrait her as a victim? She should in jail! Shame on you!
I can only assume they plan on exposing her like they did the guy from BS HIGH. I hope that’s the plan because you can’t excuse or explain away her actions
There's a podcast about this called The Missionary. It's a great listen in addition to this.
There's definitely a conversation to be had about the value and intent behind missionary work, but what Renee did was pretty cut and dried medical malpractice.
Thank you, I will be listening to the podcast.
Thank you, I'll definitely search this podcast and listen for more context
Really Eleanor? I listened to the same podcast (brilliant and we'll researched BTW) and I don't see the cut and dry part at all.
**Vengeance is mine said the Most High** 🙏 Pure wickedness and evil, 😭😭😭😭 my heart go for the family's and innocent children's.
This is what evil truly looks like
For all those who are saying atleast she tried to help or tried to do something.. just imagine a situation where one of your own kids or if you don't have kids your loved ones has fallen unconscious in a public place and may need a CPR remember I said may need a CPR not necessary and no one is helping but someone comes up to help and renders a CPR without doing a proper check and performs it incorrectly leading to rupture of lungs and death.. now is the person a saviour or murderer
bad example. they would be considered neither. they'd be a samaritan and protected regardless of the outcome
At least she "did her own research" 🙂
Osea dices que si una persona le da un infarto es mejor dejarlo morir que darle rcp?
Kinda a bad example, more like imagine someone offers to let your kids go to a free daycare because you cant afford it and all your kids die of easily avoidable mistakes and negligence. Do you just say, it was a mistake? Or do you question why they were operating a place that ignored all the warning signs over and over again for about a hundred children?
That is not the same. One is a passerby ignorantly trying to help. Renee proclaims and puts herself in a position and profits
the fact that this trailer portrays Renee as a victim is beyond immoral. HBO really lost its footing after the merger.
This will be an interesting watch. My uncle was a medical missionary during idi Amins day. He would see people being attacked by machetes in front of his clinic. He was trained though
Now I'm in a precarious position being half and half. My dad is white my mother was Indigenous now there is me. Our world is filled with people who think that their good outweighs anything else and they are compelled to force that life into us. I know colonialism, my parents would fight about in throughout my life and it's caused a lot of resentment withing myself... we can't let bygones be when people like this woman are allowed to exist without being monitored or policed like the rest of the non-white world has to....
I wish you the best in life, fellow halfsie. People like us tend to have the weight of the world on our shoulders.
Type1, 1st, and foremost, you're a human being who can form an opinion of what is right and wrong. Skin color has nothing to do with it. Form your opinion with your beautiful brain.
@Renell White Do you mean to say you believe Type is focusing too much on color somehow? In that case, I'm confused because I don't see it at all.
Why make it about you when 105 children were killed.
Charity work often goes from a mission to provide relief or assistance to those needing help, to a mission that seeks to financially enrich the lives of those providing it. Or is that sometimes the entire point?
SHE NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a former evangelical, and in evangelical Christianity there's this idea that God will call unqualified people to save (mostly Black) kids from poverty, starvation, and/or trafficking. If you say, "But I don't know how to ___," they'll respond, "Well, Moses had a speech impediment, and God still used him," or some other example from the Bible.
The result is a lot of well-meaning white people unintentionally doing lots and lots and lots of harm.
I mean, Moses was also a professional Shepard and had a high level of education at the time
@Carly Crays I'm just repeating what I heard evangelicals say.
@Tris Mamone I get you. I just mean that, like, a lot of people in the Bible were highly regarded professionals in their own way. They weren't just doing things
@Carly Crays "a lot of people in the Bible were highly regarded professionals in their own way."...You type that as if it were historical fact. Do you believe the Bible is telling a story that is inspired by God and ALL true, or just parts of it? The reason I ask is because the Bible teaches its followers to accept immoral actions as morally acceptable without ever teaching them otherwise, and I want to understand if YOU cherry-pick from the book in order to stay morally grounded, or if you accept the immoral teachings too...
@Guess Who I say that because while I don't think the Bible is literal, I think you can use real historical context to figure out the education level and professional attitude of the characters and historical figures. I also think that this common Christian story that these people were all humble and of the salt of rhe earth really is just pushing a narrative which feeds into their missionary plots and prosperity gospel.
There’s genuine Doctors and Nurses and other Allied healthcare professionals that are well experienced and qualified to assist people in those medical camps, I know people that have sacrificed everything to serve my mother continent.
One of the main reasons that causes death in children - they are brought to these professionals when it’s too late and they expect a white saviour mentality, of-course with pain of loss comes hatred to the white saviour.
I am not saying that responsibility shouldn’t be taken as some of them are just students and lack experience however, medical camps do provide a lot of help to our communities and still save lives.
Stick to your own.
How dare you treat children with no medical experience, resulting in their death. She’s an animal who needs to be locked up. The government of Uganda should’ve locked her up
Why would the government of Uganda allow anyone to practice without a medical degree?
As a Black Christian, I’m very interested in this “being called by God” situation. Does God know that we will make mistakes when we do His will? Yes, but at the same time, it’s such a weird trend of white Christians always being “called” to help poor Africans. A lot of people build their identity on who they can help. Some of these people can’t even evangelise to their neighbour but feel okay going to another continent. Obviously, I’m aware that people can be called and then mess up like Saul.
The same people keep making the same "mistakes" across the globe but especially in African countries. And it always ends in the harm or death of black and brown people. God sees it for what it is.
If she really cared about those children she should have learned how to be an actual doctor !!
I truly hope this isn’t a redemption story for Renee. What is this trailer?
She has no medical experience. Doesn’t even use the donation money to hire doctors is intriguing.
said the same thing to myself
This may be the only logical post I've seen on this video. Yes it appears that funds need to be generated and earmarked to hire trained doctors, and better equipment as well.
Did this trailer need to go so epic with the music ? I’d go more with a somber dramatic tone
Its sad how there is room to debate, if she did wrong. whereas there are 108 families that would never be the same.The few who got 'justice ' was a slap on the wrist as compesation and now, HBO out here profiting over those dead african children 💔 😢 when does it end??
Renee did what most of us will never think of doing and that was helping those helpless malnourished children and instead of being appreciated she is being judged. But as the Bible says in Math 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Renee my friend and sister the is with He says I will never leave you nor forsake you. Stand yo ground and continue helping those that He places in yo wake. We are thankful for the kind works you did for the parents of Eastern Uganda. Stay blessed my sister
lol at throwing a stone at Renee
She’s a mass murderer and not only got away with it but got her own documentary painting her out to be this misunderstood heroine are we shocked?
Platforming this negligent murderer is so irresponsible. Unreal.
I'd never heard of this before. Surely she could get medical practitioners for this charity? It does seem like a bit of a gray area story because, while the fact that they were likely responsible for many children's deaths, at the same time they also saved many by feeding them. People desperate to help need to know their limit.
You can be a murderer and also be charitable. I mean lots of evil criminals were good to some people. I wonder what she did with all the donation money? It’s not like she personally was making all that money. People entrusted their money to her. Imagine how much more lives could’ve been saved if those dollars went to a reputable organization.
I can't even begin to understand why HBO is portraying Renee as a "savior". She should be behind bars. If someone from Africa did that here in America, she would be behind bars by now regardless. Renee knew she could get away with it because she is American, and that's the sad bad about the white savior syndrome.
she’s a serial killer and you’re giving her a platform?????
Even by American standards, with serial killers, she must stand out as the greatest there’s been. If you look closely, you may find she’s killed some American kids either before or after her Uganda mission. Then there FBI perhaps will be interested
There’s no way she agreed to this knowing the context
Or she knew that people like me would support her. I give her credit for trying, yes she might have gone too far and made mistakes. But at least she was trying to do something.
If her “trying” results in needless deaths then she should never have tried at all. Just because someone is trying to do something, doesn’t mean that it’s a good thing. You really need to expand your mind.
@B BabbichWhen her actions result in deaths, “at least she tried”’is not a legitimate defense
Okay, so, the proceeds for a docu-mini series directed by an white American journo are going to whom? Viewership provided by a predominately white self glory hailing audience that can afford HBO; we'll inhale carbs and subscribe to major streaming networks to finger point and pat ourselves on the back for agreeing that someone we didn't know even existed is a bad person? How profoundly boring and yet immensely self sacrificial of us all. High fives, all around!
They're going to HBO just like any other show they produce. You have no point.
@Stinky Cheese That's my point, stinky cheese.😆
1 very simple and straight forward question ... If it was in the US and not Uganda, would this be ok? If this lady went to a poor neighborhood/county in the US in the name of helping malnourished children and in 5 years 105 children died in her facility... will it be a case settled out of court? I think the most atrocities committed in this world is by "Christians" or people who claimed to have been "called" by God for a mission... from crusades to Karens. You may not know but many Africans, Asians, South Americans ... know what European "evangelists" have brought to them. So yeah it hits different when you know what you know.
It’s because these people don’t see those kids in the same way. I’m sure there’s gonna be a lot of defending of this lady.
Your first question is the most relevant one I have seen thus far in the comments. And the answer to that question points to the biggest culprit here. The reason why this will not be okay in the US is because there is a government that has laws to ensure it isn't just not okay but will prosecute and seek justice for those children based on those laws. The Ugandan government is the biggest culprit here and the reason why all other culprits will face no accountability.
She. Had. No. Medical. Training.
Who cares about her intentions? HBO are you serious with this??? Just imagine this had happened in the US, she’ll be in prison right now. So sad.
Let this be a lesson to everyone. If you aren't perfect, wealthy, and able to do it right the first time, DON'T TRY TO HELP. Just let those people do their own thing. Good intentions won't help you if you make any mistakes, and if those people really needed her help than the government that is ready to end her will help them. Just keep to yourself. Stop helping.
Don't conduct medical procedures without a license. And don't think you're needed in Africa just because you're a missionary.
Pretty sure that the bare minimum to practice medicine all over the world is a medical license. This person took lots of money from other people and misrepresented herself. That led to the death of children. So I don’t understand why people asking for the bare minimum is being entitled to the point where you’re advising others not to help anyone.
I am sorry for their family lost, my they rest in peace.
People here in the comments working so hard to justify the fact that they 1) really don't care (honesty is hard), and 2) aren't going to do anything to help. Then there's the Ugandan's here using her as the whipping boy to ignore the terrible poverty in their own country, because 1) they also don't really care, and 2) aren't going to do anything to help.
All that can be true and still doesn’t absolve her. Everybody but desperate parents and innocent children have a hand in the nightmare
well you're right, but you're missing that none of that has anything to do with why this was made. HBO knows no one cares. What they do care about is a white woman on screen with black men in some quasi-horror documentary. It's the only way they'll have a white woman on screen with a black man because they know the attention it will get.
@N.W.A.I don’t necessarily fault HBO…it’s an interesting story and they are in the business of telling stories.. Now how they tell it…imma reserve judgement till I watch
I’ve been to Africa, over a dozen countries including somalia, nigeria, south africa etc, to even compare the level of poverty and starvation witnessed in a place like Somalia to Detroit really shows peoples ignorance. its shocking as an American to witness children starving to death. I once witnessed a child with leprosy starving to death. Any sane or rational person would be moved and want to help. It has nothing to do with a “white savior complex”. The issue is with how Americans should go about helping. You can critique missionaries for thwarting governments, but governments in places like Somalia are notoriously corrupt. We need to focus on finding solutions as opposed to tearing down people who dare to help others. In many cases, missionaries are the only ones who provide some semblance of healthcare in remote villages. If missionaries are a problem, then what organizations should we invest in? What organizations are on the ground in remote villages providing help? Oftentimes, people critique these religious organizations and provide no alternative.
1. Africa is a continent with over 54 countries. You've been to every single one? 2. She wasn't qualified in any way to medically treat these people. 3. The US government isn't corrupt at all?
@WavesOfJoy Seaman When people say they visited the USA, do you ask if they visited every state?
I think we all know why shes been able to get away it and its NOT that hard to figure out. IF these kids HAD BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE they would have given her the CHAIR!!!
Moral of the story: Don't get involved with people who constantly rely on the kindness of others. It's truly not worth it. You're not a bad person for doing so.
That’s the lesson you gathered? Not “do not practice medicine if you do not have the credentials to do so”?
😂 what
@A The fundie missionaries are really working overtime in these comments!
@Jazzy One Nope, the lesson I got is don’t try to help. At least this lady was trying to do something.
I give her MASSIVE credit for even trying. Most people don’t even do that.
As harsh as this sounds it's true that some people resent being helped.
no good deed goes unpunished
The world need more Saviors!
No one should be practicing medicine without a license.
@Chels0813But her wanting to help is license enough! /s
I would love it if some of these people would let me perform brain surgery on them because I wanted to help.
i've come full circle on this and, whilst i have no clue about this particular case, in general the criticism of 'white saviours' is pathetic. Yes, some are crass and some even have poor intentions, but people trying to help other people cannot be a bad thing. considering all the awful things people do, let's not sneer at it.
Listen, there are millions of Americans, including kids that need help. Secondly the audacity to go treat people ESPECIALLY children when you have zero degree whatsoever. How is that even allowed or legal?
To be fair, at least she was trying to help other people. Most people I know these days are either greedy, selfish or lazy.
@B BabbichBut if you have no training, you’re only gonna make a bad situation even worse, no matter where your heart’s at
@B Babbichtell us your du MB without telling us ……,you act like he was serving meals at a soup kitchen 🙄🙄🙄 some people are born Stu pid
@Cat Mejiayour comment makes no sense
@Cat Mejia your comment is incoherent. You can edit for clarity.
The gull! She should be interviewing from under the jail! Im livid that HBO even gave her this platform.
We can only hope this trailer is so "middle ground" because they're hoping to lure people initially on her side in to then tell them why she's horrendous and has NO defense. Intention does not matter here because people's lives were at risk. She had no business doing what she did and the only thing this documentary should be examining is the white savior complex and the good work No White Saviors has been doing surrounding this woman and other misguided morons who want to make themselves feel better by going to Africa on a mission "from god".
Why are they trying to portray this like it's a debatable topic she literally operated on children without a medical license if this happened anywhere else with children of a different race she would be in prison by now
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused...
I am very confused by all the comments about how she is portrayed as a victim. This is a documentary that appears to investigate her wrongdoing. Just because a perpetrator is interviewed doesn't mean she's portrayed as a victim. My God, people. Let's use our brain and not automatically listen to the twitter chatter. Wait for the documentary to actually air and then make your judgements.
She deadass said she EXPERIMENTED on children. That’s psychotic
This blows my mind that HBO made a documentary on this monster
Am stunned that she is not behind bars yet the actual heckkkk😮
She needs to make a visit to Cape Town South Africa.
Now why is HBO giving her a chance to speak..... she literally caused the death of those children
It's called WHITE SAVIOR COMPLEX, don't water it down by given it a different title HBO
Yeah, and what have you done to try and help people?
TBH my friend did a saviour complex trip - and there were black and asian british people in the group among white people. They did it to help but also get to travel.
@B Babbichplease stop talking
Yep. All the white people on twitter pretending to like all those dark skinned female models and actresses are so annoying..
I’ve never heard of her before!
Is she being paid for this documentary? If yes HBO should be ashamed for glorifying a killer
No one should help them period, let em save themselves, it's called dealing with consequences
WHY IS SHE GETTING A PLATFORM!!!!! AND being painted as the VICTIM????!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬 THIS IS SICK!!!! SHE NEEDS TO BE IMPRISONED DUE TO HER NEGLIANCE 😡😡😡😡😡
She needs to be in jail, not in a documentary
How is she not in international jail?
They come to my country pretending to do good they're are evil 😢😢
Renae just got caught up so much about the carrying for children and program where she developed god like complex- she thought she was the. Miracle worker and thought that god was healing my he children through her-renae ment well - I don’t think she was intentionally hurting those kids on purpose- she believed in god so much and she think she can do the job well as long as she has god on her-what renae fail to realize that god send her a nurse to teach and help her. She let her pride and her crazy thinking that she is a real doctor just by goggling- well I don’t think they should try to condemn her. She don’t a lot for those people-?I would still trust her with ministry as along as she leave the medical side to the real doctors ❤
She should be in prison for what she did
hello, I angrily followed this trailer and I demand the prosecution of this criminal. Even if it is by petition to restore tranquility to the souls of the various children killed. She had a demonic vocation and I remind here that the hour of God's glory has come and mother nature is already taking charge by releasing this trailer on UA-cam. To God alone the glory.
Esto es como lo que pasaria si superman y batman fueran reales la gente no se pone de acuerdo si es una heroina o si solo esta poniendo gente inocente en peligro
Telemarketers was great on HBO. Hoping this is, too.
HBO es asqueroso que hagan este tipo de series en lugar de algo que realmente valga la pena
The way they are framing this is disgusting!!
BOYCOT HBO this is sick this woman is being rewarded again for her crimes.
Let me go into a white nursery and make mistakes no debate id be under the jail.
I havent heard of this until now
WHY IS SHE DENYING???that’s what’s more infuriating!! Accept it !!
Maybe help because you want to not because some imaginary being told you to. Use science and logic combined with compassion.
Then they wouldn't be able to help. A lot of these charities work on the basis that they send whoever to these areas, not trained people who might be able to actually do anything.
"Let he who is without sin pick up the first stone and throw it at Renee."
See, this is why it is a tragedy that so many Africans worship the white man's god.
She clearly did not even have the slightest comprehension of what she was saying, and it is tragic.
I need the song name for this! Anyone know what the soundtrack for the trailer is?
This women should be behind bars. This is disgusting
Moral of story: help the people in your community.
Not really, it is to not pretend to be something you are not. If you are not a nurse, don't nurse children. If you are not a doctor, don't pretend to be one. Be honest, be open and transparent.
@MrsAzlChang I agree with you on the pretending point. I don't think you can ignore the title of the movie or the testimony of the people within the trailer. She was driven to go to another continent and be their white savior. She had plenty of things she could have addressed in her backyard.
Looks like a well made doc. Let's just watch it and reserve judgment until we do, huh?? Is that ok with you, Man??@MrsAzlChang
Wrong! Moral of the story: mind your own business. Get a grip on your god complex and all the little voices in your head and educate yourself.
