THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD?

NOVEMBER 6

Resurrection, Indigenous prophecies, and adventures around the globe—this is the story of Patrick McCollum.

When acclaimed director Gabe Polsky gets swept into the orbit of spiritual journeyman Patrick McCollum (an eccentric peace advocate who finds himself at the center of an Indigenous prophecy), it sparks a globe-spanning, transformative adventure where the absurd and the profound collide. Along the way, they cross paths with legends like Jane Goodall and Chief Phil Lane Jr., as Polsky uncovers a mission that might just be crazy enough to save the planet.

Equal parts Herzogian adventure and modern myth, the film explores big questions with humor, humanity, and surreal twists. This is a bold, genre-defying documentary that blends mysticism, global environmental urgency, and absurdist character study into a unique concoction that must be seen to be believed...and even then you'll have questions.

Executive Produced by Oscar-winning director/producer Peter Farrelly and Rough House Pictures (Danny McBride/David Gordon Green/Jody Hill).

"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

"I love this movie and I wish everybody could see it because it's life-affirming and timely."
– Peter Farrelly (Green Book, There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber)

"Only a film this bizarre, inspiring, and human could feel right at home with Rough House Pictures. This is the kind of film that makes you laugh, think, and question everything."
– Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill, Rough House Pictures (The Righteous Gemstones, Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals)
