Filmmaker seeks interview with Joseph Campbell torch bearer

Post by JoshuaTree »

Hi Everyone! I'm producing a documentary about the belief that the Jews are God's chosen people. I would love to hear Joseph Campbell's thoughts on this topic, and I'm so thankful that the JCF is here carrying on his legacy.

I am searching for an interviewee who, like JCF, is devoted to carrying on Campbell's legacy. I would ask this person to explain myth the way Campbell understood it, and to talk about "the chosen people" belief as myth. What is the psychology behind it? What function does it serve for Jews? This is one of the oldest, most enduring, and most central pillars of Jewish identity. What gives this myth such power?

I would be very grateful for any leads. I also considered asking the C.G. Jung Institute, but I came to you first.

Thanks in advance for any leads.
