Not really about Joseph Campbell, but interesting

If you want to know about Campbell's work you'll need to look elsewhere.

Some basic aspect it are mentioned, however, as many have noticed, it's not really about him, neither about his biography nor his works about mythology. His fictional works are not even mentioned.

It's more about how Campbell's insights inspired a series of people (whom you might like or not) in their lives and work. And it's also about how narratives can impact how we view our life and change our attitude to it.

The documentary is well crafted and knows how to keep the viewer interested. It's basically a mixture of imagery, interviews and little performances by children intermingled.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
