"And so Galahad decided that it would be a disgrace to set off on a
quest with the other knights. Alone he would enter the dark forest
where there was no path. This is the myth of the Hero’s Journey."
—Joseph Campbell One of the greatest storytellers of our time, and
arguably the greatest mythologist, Joseph Campbell spent most of
his long, rich career explaining how ancient myths like the Hero’s
Journey are relevant to modern life. In understanding the
importance of myth as a vital, vibrant source of "mankind’s one
great story," Campbell inspired others to embark on a quest for the
meaning of myth in their own lives. This biographical portrait,
filmed shortly before his death in 1987, follows Campbell’s
personal quest—a pathless journey of questioning, discovery, and
ultimately of delight and joy in a life to which he said,
"Yes."
