DVD : Keeping Score: MTT On Music [2004] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

DVD : Joseph Campbell: The Hero's Journey [1997] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
"The Hero's Journey" is more than just a stuffy biography of Joseph Campbell (1904-1987.) We see alive prorate with much of it illustrated by Joseph Campbell himself.

While we are in the process of viewing Campbell's discoveries we make a few discoveries our self. We see a different view of God and our relationship through today's myths.

As usual the book is more in-depth but this presentation makes a good introduction to Campbell and the people that influenced his Hero's Journey.
