Review: Finding Joe

Finding Joe attempts to examine a community of people who take the hero's journey outlined by Joseph Campbell and try to apply it to their own lives. What emerges is a fascinating and diverse range of voices outlining their experiences and their resulting fulfilment.

As someone who has tried to introduce the notion of mythological archetypes in communications, campaigning and organisational change (without huge amounts of success it has to be said) - this documentary felt like the missing piece of the puzzle.

But the documentary was perhaps less successful at outlining all of stages of the hero's journey although it does cover the main ones.

Verdict: Finding Joe is by turns inspiring and sometimes extremely moving look at the modern and personal application of mythological storytelling.
