Description: *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.  Where to order Chelsea’s book: Bookshop.org Find other places to order Follow Chelsea: Instagram @chelseadevantez Join the cookie community: Become a member of the Patreon Show Notes: Savior Complex trailer No White Saviors Instagram post on Savior Complex The spectacular implosion of Instagram’s No White Saviors Where to find our Guests: Jackie Jesko Website Instagram *** Glamorous Trash is all about going high and low at the same time— Glam and Trash.
