6.333

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鈥檚 Journey are relevant to modern life. In understanding the importance of myth as a vital, vibrant source of "mankind鈥檚 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鈥檚 personal quest鈥攁 pathless journey of questioning, discovery, and ultimately of delight and joy in a life to which he said, "Yes."
