The Man Who Saves The World? Premiere

We are pleased to share that The Man Who Saves the World, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gabe Polsky, is coming to Crested Butte for a special screening on March 21st at The Majestic Theatre. We invite you and your community to join us and explore a collaboration aligned with the film’s message and your organization’s mission. Supported by leaders in conservation and entertainment, including Jane Goodall, Peter Farrelly, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill, the film blends humor, heart, and urgency in a way that transcends traditional documentary storytelling. It was recently named one of the Top 6 documentaries of the year by The Hollywood Reporter and holds a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with sold-out screenings nationwide. Described as wildly entertaining and profoundly important, the film follows Patrick McCollum, an unlikely peace advocate drawn into an Indigenous prophecy that may shape the future of the Amazon and our planet. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with aligned organizations to make this Crested Butte screening a meaningful community event.
