What Protagonist Is About

The documentary tells the stories of four men. Each of them followed an obsession. One had been inside an armed group in Germany. His name is Hans-Joachim Klein. One robbed banks. Joe Loya later became a writer. One was a preacher who taught that people could be turned from being gay. Mark Pierpont later came out himself. One had given himself over to martial arts. Mark Salzman later became a novelist. The film lays the four lives side by side. The structure follows the shape of a Euripides tragedy, with scenes of Greek drama played by puppets in between. Marina Sirtis and Chris Diamantopoulos narrate the ninety minute documentary Jessica Yu finished in 2007, an American production.
