About

How can an antihero teach us about the heroic-- and sometimes, the unheroic-- characteristics that shape a story's protagonist? From jealousy to self-doubt, Tim Adams challenges us to consider how antiheroes reflect the very mortal weaknesses that can be found within all of us. [Directed by Tahnee Gehm, narrated by Zach Tolchinsky].
