Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers arrives on Blu-ray March 4 from Film MovementIn this landmark 1988 PBS series, mythologist and storyteller Joseph Campbell joins acclaimed journalist Bill Moyers to explore what enduring myths can tell us about our lives. In each of six episodes recorded at Skywalker Ranch and New York’s American Museum of Natural History – “The Hero’s Adventure,” “The Message of the Myth,” “The First Storytellers,” “Sacrifice and Bliss,” “Love and the Goddess,” and “Masks of Eternity” — Moyers and Campbell focus on a character or theme found in cultural and religious mythologies.

In conversations that span millennia and cover the far reaches of the globe, the two discuss how myths are clues to the spiritual core of human nature, while touching on such diverse topics as religion, folklore and pop culture.

Released shortly after Campbell’s death on October 30, 1987, The Power of Myth was one of the most popular TV series in the history of public television, and continues to inspire new audiences. On March 28, Film Movement releases the landmark series in special, extras-laden sets on both DVD (3 Discs) and, for the very first time in North America, on Blu-ray (2 Discs).
