The Man Who Saves the World? directed by Gabe Polsky is truly an inspirational cinematic event. Following sold-out runs and screenings in Sedona, Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Ojai, Portland, Seattle, Charleston, Aspen, Oakland, Bozeman and beyond, we're offering the film now with a great pre-recorded Q&A with Rev. Patrick McCollum, Director Gabe Polsky, moderated by two-time Academy Award nominee Steve James (Hoop Dreams.)
The film follows Patrick McCollum—an eccentric peace advocate who finds himself at the center of an Indigenous prophecy that may decide the fate of the Amazon and, by extension, the planet. The film is a wild, hilarious, and heartfelt journey — part comedy, part prophecy, and part cultural adventure. It asks some of the big questions about life and meaning, but in a way that will keep you laughing and surprised the whole way through.
Backed by trailblazers in conservation and entertainment, Jane Goodall, Peter Farrelly, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, this is a film that transcends categories and entertains as powerfully as it transforms. The Hollywood Reporter selected it as one of the top 6 documentaries of the year.
Now we invite you to experience the next documentary redefining what's possible—critics call it "wildly entertaining," "profoundly important," and "unlike anything you've seen before." It’s got a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Patrick is probably the most extraordinary person I've met."
-Jane Goodall
"The Man Who Saves the World? is one of my favorite documentaries in years — leave it to Gabe Polsky to track down and chronicle one of the most colorful characters and craziest stories ever captured on film."
– Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter
"Gabe Polsky strikes a near-perfect balance between skepticism and wonder in this story of his adventures with an American original in the purest sense. Hilarious and inspiring in equal measure."
– Ben McGrath, The New Yorker
“The Man Who Saves the World?” is a very entertaining one-of-a-kind portrait of a one-of-a-kind man. Like the filmmaker, you will wonder whether Patrick McCollum is a religious fanatic, delusional, or a remarkably dedicated man on an impossible mission. Or maybe all three?
