Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers [2 Discs]

"This DVD set compiles all six parts of the landmark Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth series that appeared on PBS in 1991. In the series, Campbell undertook the massive task of conveying the story of human imagination throughout time. His focus was on the power of myth, namely the stories and legends passed down through the ages that attempt to explain the universe and humankind's place within it. Hosted by Bill Moyers, the program received critical acclaim and is reproduced in full in this set from Mystic Fire. The six segments include Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: The Hero's Journey, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: The Message of the Myth, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: The First Storytellers, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: Sacrifice and Bliss, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: Love and the Goddess, and Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth: Masks of Eternity. DVD extras include an interview with George Lucas on mythology, art galleries, chapter indexes, biographies, bibliographies, videography, web links, selections from Sukhavati: Place of Bliss -- A Mythic Journey with Joseph Campbell and closed-captioning."
