"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
“Told through Polsky’s tenderly comic lens, The Man Who Saves the World? is a captivating portrait of the singular Patrick McCollum, an unlikely hero who communicates with plants, unites the world’s Indigenous groups, and survives death itself. McCollum's story underscores the enduring (and tragic) beauty of being true to oneself till the very end.” – Bill Keenan, Air Mail
