An ancient prophecy. A reluctant saviour. A mystery buried deep in the Amazon. Filmmaker Gabe Polsky follows an eccentric American allegedly chosen by Indigenous elders to fulfil an extraordinary destiny. Miraculous healings, near-death revelations and Jane Goodall enter the picture. Is Patrick McCollum humanity’s unlikely hope—or something else entirely?
GUEST: Gabe Polsky is an acclaimed American filmmaker, director, writer and producer known for his visually striking documentaries and unconventional storytelling. His films include Red Army, In Search of Greatness, and his latest, The Man Who Saves the World? In this extraordinary documentary, Polsky spends nearly three years investigating Patrick McCollum, an eccentric American whom Indigenous elders believe is destined to fulfil an ancient prophecy. His investigation takes him deep into the Amazon, confronting extraordinary claims of miraculous healing, near-death experiences and spiritual destiny, while testing the boundaries between faith, folklore and fact.
