Made for TV adaptation of the Thor myth in which the warrior god
must overcome the malevolent scheming of a rival. Loki (Richard
Grieco) is in search of the magical hammer that would allow him to
destroy the Tree of Life. Enraged by the cunning of the old god
Odin (Kevin Nash), who throws the hammer into another dimension,
Loki brutally murders the old man and sets out after his son Thor
(Cody Deal). With only the feisty Jarnsaxa (Patricia Velasquez) to
train him for the battle of life, can Thor keep Loki away from the
sacred Tree of Life and avenge the murder of his father?
In the wake of unthinkable atrocities, it is reasonable to ask how
any population can move on from the experience of genocide. Simply
remembering the past can, in the shadow of mass death, be
retraumatizing. So how can such momentous events be memorialized in
a way that is productive and even healing for survivors? Genocide
memorials tell a story about the past, preserve evidence of the
violence that occurred, and provide emotional support to survivors.
But the goal of amplifying survivors’ voices can fade amid larger
narratives entrenched in political motivations.In After
Genocide,Nicole Fox investigates the ways memorials can shape the
experiences of survivors decades after mass violence has ended. She
examines how memorializations can both heal and hurt, especially
when they fail to represent all genders, ethnicities, and classes
of those afflicted. Drawing on extensive interviews with Rwandans,
Fox reveals their relationships to these spaces and uncovers those
voices silenced by the dominant narrative—arguing that the
erasure of such stories is an act of violence itself. The
book probes the ongoing question of how to fit survivors in to the
dominant narrative of healing and importantly demonstrates how
memorials can shape possibilities for growth, national cohesion,
reconciliation, and hope for the future.
