“Beyond The Thunder”, a documentary film by Kurt Squiers ofSQUiERS, LLC and Gregg Ferguson of Current Motion, is about the tremendous influence rock band AC/DC has had on our culture around the globe. The two producers/directors dropped their careers in order to make this film, which pays homage to one of the greatest bands of all time in such a way that has less to do with the band members themselves, and more to do with the common bond that ties fans together around the globe.
This particular sequence, which can be seen below, features military war hero, Michael Durant, author of “In The Company Of Men” and sole survivor of the hellacious “Black Hawk Down” experience in Mogadishu.Michael Durant‘s will to survive miraculously came through the assistance of AC/DC‘s music.
