# Event Details - **Event Name**: San Francisco Screening Event + Q&A – The Man Who Saves the World? @ The Great Star Theater - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Executive Produced by Oscar-winning director/producer Peter Farrelly, and the award-winning comedy team of Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill. Following a sold-out preview in San Rafael, The Man Who Saves the World? makes its San Francisco premiere on December 4th. Join spiritual journeyman Patrick McCollum, and special guests for an unforgettable evening at The Great Star Theater. This isn't just a film screening—it's a live experience featuring music, storytelling, and conversation with the documentary's subject: kung fu master, U.N. peacekeeper, Wiccan chaplain, and the man prophesied to save the Amazon. When director Gabe Polsky gets swept into Patrick McCollum's orbit, it sparks a globe-spanning adventure where the absurd and the profound collide. Along the way, they cross paths with legends like Jane Goodall and Chief Phil Lane Jr., uncovering a mission that might just be crazy enough to save the planet. The Man Who Saves the World? is a bold documentary that blends spiritual prophecy, environmental urgency, and absurdist character study into something entirely unique. Equal parts Herzogian adventure and modern myth, it explores big questions with humor, humanity, and surreal twists. Behind the film is the Executive Producer team of Oscar-winning director/producer Peter Farrelly, Rough House Pictures (Danny McBride/David Gordon Green/Jody Hill), and Area 23a (Fantastic Fungi, Common Ground). What Critics Are Saying: "One of my favorite documentaries in years — leave it to Gabe Polsky to track down one of the most colorful characters and craziest stories ever captured on film." – The Hollywood Reporter "Hilarious and inspiring in equal measure." – The New Yorker ? 100% on Rotten Tomatoes — critics and audiences agree: this one’s a must-see.
