One has to wonder what Miguel de Cervantes would make of Patrick McCullum.

As we meet Patrick at the start of Gabe Polsky’s new documentary, THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD?, we aren’t quite sure what to make of him — and, frankly, neither is the filmmaker.

Is Patrick, a self-proclaimed healer and mystic, truly destined to fulfill a prophecy and bring unity and protection to the Indigenous people of the Amazon?

Or, like the hero of Cervantes’s Don Quixote, is he a dreamer tilting at windmills?

With Polsky as our modern-day Sancho Panza — and a question mark hanging boldly at the end of the film’s title — we’re invited to question what it truly means to “save the world.”

By the nature of the word, we’ve come to expect that documentaries reveal truth and certainty.

But THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? reminds us that sometimes the greatest wisdom lies in embracing what we can’t fully know.

The film also features Dr. Jane Goodall, whose lifelong dedication to compassion, science, and the natural world continues to inspire generations.

In light of her recent passing, we honor her extraordinary life and the grace with which she shared her insight — in this film and throughout her remarkable journey.
