A new documentary series is unraveling the harrowing true story of an American missionary who was blamed for the death of more than 100 children.

Renee Bach, 39, who was branded as the Angel of Death, is at the center of HBO's new three-part series Savior Complex.

The evangelist, originally from Virginia, set up a non-profit 'malnutrition rehab center' called Serving His Children in Uganda back in 2009 after being 'called by God' to save children from malnutrition, poverty, and disease.

Renee, who was sued over several deaths but has never faced any criminal charges, either in the US or Uganda, told the program: 'I think some of the most wild accusations made about me were that I killed 800 children, was medically experimenting on children, compared to Adolf Hitler and assumed to be part of the KKK.'

She added: 'I feel like I've taken the hit for every single white person who's ever stepped foot in Uganda.'

Renee, who was a 'homeschooled missionary,' first traveled to Jinja, Uganda, for a 10-month trip as a teenager in 2007 - but she soon felt 'called by God' to do more.

'I just started to see malnutrition everywhere. So many children came seeking help,' she told the program.

As a result, the then 19-year-old returned to the country in 2009, and 'decided to make a malnutrition rehab center.'

She started the 'non-governmental organization with money raised through her church in Bedford, Virginia,' according to The New Yorker.

The Serving His Children clinic was aimed at tackling malnutrition in impoverished regions by providing free meals and creating community engagement programs.

Renee also set up a blog to document the charity's ongoing work - but her posts, which would later be submitted as evidence against her in court, indicated that she was doing more despite having no medical training.

'I hooked the baby up to oxygen and got to work,' she wrote in 2011. 'I took her temperature, started an IV, checked her blood sugar, tested for malaria, and looked at her [hemoglobin] count.'
