Spiritual outlier and peace activist Patrick McCollum finds himself at the center of an ancient indigenous prophecy to unite the tribes of South America. Polsky admittedly gets swept into the orbit of McCollum’s world, bringing us on an eye-opening documentary film journey across continents where the absurd and the profound collide.
Is this an epically strange myth or an actual prophecy unfolding?
