*Patron-only Bonus Episode Teaser* Chelsea interviews Jackie Jesko, director of the HBO documentary "Savior Complex," and one of Chelsea’s favorite docs of the past year. Chelsea asks Jackie her pressing questions about Renee Bach, a missionary whose attempts to provide medical care in Uganda led to accusations of murder and tragic consequences. Chelsea and Jackie unpack the ethical complexities of missionary work, the pervasive influence of white saviorism, the role social media plays in shaping activism today, and how Jackie was able to show a masterful level of nuance in such a complicated story.
