The Hero's Journey (Film Trailer for "Finding Joe")
Perhaps the most enduring idea of the renowned folklorist and mythologist Joseph Campbell is the notion of “the hero’s journey,” a motif that is found in the tales of cultures the world-over. As Campbell explained, “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”
This trailer for the film, “Finding Joe”, has scholars and adventurers asking: how can we become the heroes in the narrative of our own lives?
