Resurrection, ancient prophecies, and globe-spanning adventures—this is the outrageous true story of Patrick McCollum, an eccentric spiritual leader who’s been identified by Indigenous Elders as the man foretold to fulfill a sacred prophecy to save the Amazon. McCollum has lived a life so improbable, it sounds like a myth. From carnival worker to renowned jewelry designer, kung fu master, reverend, pagan ritual leader, and international peacemaker—his journey defies logic. Pulled into Patrick’s world, acclaimed director Gabe Polsky embarks on a surreal journey where the absurd and the profound blur, and nothing is quite what it seems. Our guest is Gabe Polsky, an award-winning writer, director, and producer known for bold, unconventional storytelling in both documentary and narrative film. The Man Who Saves the World? executive producers include; Peter Farrelly, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, Brandon James and world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and humanitarian, Jane Goodall.
