American movie model is usually about one person who can make a difference

In some, it's the community or family working together.
We have some stories like that--
Three Musketeers

In general---
In Asia, often in India, the myths will have individuals, but may also have stories". about the gang, the team, the brotherhood.

Rob: It's complicated because of the steps the mythic hero goes through. You think it's a viable story that could be developed?
Chris-- more than that I think it could be really powerful.
Chris gives the Classic Hero's journey description
Rob: There are archetypes associated with the hero's journey. What are they, starting with the hero?
Rob: How would that look for a group?
