As public television stations around the country rebroadcast The Power of Myth — Bill Moyers’ groundbreaking conversations with mythologist Joseph Campbell — Moyers shares this compelling clip which draws parallels between Star Wars and mythological themes of heroism, spiritual adventure, and the actions of man. Released in 1988, The Power of Myth was one of the most popular TV series in the history of public television, and continues to inspire new audiences.

An urgent appeal for your support: 4 Days to raise $31,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 4 days to hit our $31,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
