Bill Moyers

Faith & Reason: Jeanette Winterson & Will Power

Season 1 Episode 2 | 53m 44s

Jeanette Winterson and hip-hop playwright Will Power turn the ancient myths into modern-day parables. "The people who do achieve great things, are also people who have fatal flaws," says Winterson. "Do we have the power to rule our own destiny, or are we destined to make the same mistakes as our foremothers and our forefathers?" asks Power.
