GBRS Group SWAT Training

Over the past 2 years I’ve been trying to learn a bit more about video. I believe that different stories require different mediums for their effective portrayal, with some stories being best conveyed through photographs while others need the power of video narration. Storytelling is not one size fits all. Video has always been super intimidating to me but talking to new people has not. Hearing their stories and gaining insights into the mindset of high-performing individuals has always intrigued me. Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a training day with 2 retired navy seals and their company @GBRSGroup , where I documented Alec Iurato and his colleagues as they engaged in an intensive day of training. Alec Iurato experienced a profound loss in October of 2022 when two of his partners fell victim to gun violence. While acknowledging the contentious nature of the policing system in our country, I was particularly interested in exploring the role of camaraderie in the healing process following such a tragic event. I couldn’t help but wonder how individuals could find the strength to return to their jobs after enduring such violence and terror. Witnessing Alec Iurato approach his work with resilience and a smile on his face has been truly inspiring.
