The Man Who Saves The World? Santa Barbara Premiere

Award-winning filmmaker Gabe Polsky brings The Man Who Saves the World? to Riviera Theatre for a one-time screening. Backed by leading voices in conservation and entertainment—including Jane Goodall, Peter Farrelly, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill—the documentary has been described as “wildly entertaining” and “profoundly important,” and was recently named one of the Top 6 Documentaries of the Year by The Hollywood Reporter. The film follows Patrick McCollum, an unlikely peace advocate drawn into an Indigenous prophecy that could shape the future of the Amazon—and possibly the planet. Blending humor with spiritual inquiry, The Man Who Saves the World? explores themes of land, purpose, and personal responsibility in a story that lingers long after the credits roll.
