synopsis

PROTAGONIST is a 2007 documentary film about the parallels between human life and Euripidean dramatic structure, written and directed by Academy Award-winner Jessica Yu (IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL). Featuring extensive interviews with a German terrorist, an "ex-gay" Christian evangelist, a Mexican bank-robber, and a martial-arts enthusiast Mark Salzman (the director's husband), Yu's film is a powerful exploration of four men struggling with their own inner natures.
