Join spiritual journeyman Patrick McCollum, Director Gabe Polsky, and special guests for a mind-blowing cinematic experience. This isn’t just a film screening—it’s a live experience featuring magical storytelling, and conversation with the documentary’s subject: kung fu master, U.N. peacekeeper, Wiccan chaplain, and the man prophesied to save the Amazon. When director Gabe Polsky gets swept into Patrick McCollum’s orbit, it sparks a globe-spanning adventure where the absurd and the profound collide. Along the way, they cross paths with legends like Jane Goodall and Chief Phil Lane Jr., uncovering a mission that might just be crazy enough to save the planet. The Man Who Saves the World? is a bold documentary that blends spiritual prophecy, environmental urgency, and absurdist character study into something entirely unique. Equal parts Herzogian adventure and modern myth, it explores big questions with humor, humanity, and surreal twists. Behind the film is the Executive Producer team of Oscar-winning director/producer Peter Farrelly, Rough House Pictures (Danny McBride/David Gordon Green/Jody Hill), and Area 23a (Fantastic Fungi, Common Ground). “Patrick is probably the most extraordinary person I’ve met.” -Jane Goodall “One of my favorite documentaries in years — leave it to Gabe Polsky to track down one of the most colorful characters and craziest stories ever captured on film.”” – Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter “I love this movie and I wish everybody could see it because it’s life-affirming and timely.” -Peter Farrelly “4 out of 4 Stars” -RogerEbert.com 100% Approval -Rotten Tomatoes
