The Man Who Saves the World?

2025 | Documentary | A Film by Gabe Polsky

When a skeptical filmmaker hires a private investigator to debunk a 75-year-old ex-carnival worker's wild claim of an ancient prophecy, he gets pulled into a surreal journey across continents.

Supported by primatologist Jane Goodall, Patrick McCollum embarks on an impossible quest, where the absurd and the profound meet, to unite Amazonian tribes and protect the rainforest.

Starring: Patrick McCollum, Jane Goodall, and Gabe Polsky

“This is one of my favorite documentaries in years.”

Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter

“…probably the most extraordinary person I've met.”

Jane Goodall

“Hilarious and inspiring in equal measure.”

Ben McGrath, The New Yorker

“To say that 'The Man Who Saves the World?' is funny is an understatement.”

Addie Morfoot, Variety

“I love this movie and I wish everybody could see it because it's life-affirming and timely.”

Academy Award Winner, Peter Farrelly (Green Book)

“This is the kind of film that makes you laugh, think, and question everything.”

Danny McBride, David Gordon Green and Jody Hill
