Protagonist is a 2007 American documentary film about the parallels between human life and Euripidean dramatic structure. The film was written and directed by Jessica Yu.
It featured extensive interviews with German terrorist Hans-Joachim Klein, ex-gay Christian evangelist Mark Pierpont, Mexican bank-robber Joe Loya, and martial-arts enthusiast Mark Salzman (the director's husband). Interspersed with the interviews are scenes from ancient Greek drama performed by puppets.
