Resurrection, indigenous prophecies, and adventures around the globe — this is the story of Patrick McCollum. A spiritual leader and peace advocate, he finds himself at the very center of an ancient prophecy that could decide the fate of our planet. Pulled into McCollum’s world, acclaimed director Gabe Polsky will bring us across continents on a spiritual journey in which the absurd and profound merge.

 “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?

 – Steve James (Director, Hoop Dreams)

“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)
