Thor - The Defender of Man (Norse Mythology Explained)

Thor is a very well-known god due not only to being featured in movies, but in the English days of the week. Yet despite this notoriety there has been perhaps less focus on understanding him and his function in the ancient Germanic religion. This documentary attempts to answer some of the questions surrounding Thor and help to better understand the power and meaning he holds in everyday life as well as unlocking some of the mysteries of his myths.
