"A wide-ranging collection of insights from legendary mythologist Joseph Campbell compiled from rare and previously unpublished interviews. Includes some of Campbell's most thoughtful responses to an array of interviewers, including the historian Studs Terkel, journalists from notable publications, and even audience members at various seminars"--.

Conversations between Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers, a television journalist, discussing mythology and our ties to the past.

Presents interviews with mythologist Joseph Campbell and notable people he inspired including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, and filmmaker David Kennard.

Scholar Joseph Campbell sits down with journalist Bill Moyers for a discussion about how myths reveal truths about the human experience.

This documentary mentions Campbell's affinity for the writings of James Joyce and Carl Jung, and there is ample footage of Campbell, casual in flannel shirts, giving lectures salted with references to Buddhism, Christianity, classical mythology, St. Augustine, and the rituals of plains Indians. In later life, Campbell is seen being honored at a banquet at which George Lucas rises to give him credit for helping to inspire the writing of Star Wars. After Campbell's death in 1987, heated controversies arose about his work, but this documentary is an overwhelmingly positive look at his writings, lectures, and personality.

An exhilarating journey into the mind and spirit of a remarkable man, a legendary teacher, and a masterful storyteller, conducted by TV journalist Bill Moyers in the acclaimed PBS series.
