NOIR | Season 5 | Ep.7: INFLUENCE

About this video

Colion presents a compilation-style video featuring several segments: his visit to a shooting range with competitive shooter Julie Golob where he discusses Federal’s polymer-jacketed ammunition and practices various drills, his experience shooting clays and reflecting on his lack of skill but enjoyment of the sport, his personal origin story with guns and how overcoming fear changed his life, and a conversation with former recording artist Chris Strong about the conflicting influence of trap music that glorifies violence while Colion himself enjoys it. Throughout, Colion shares his perspectives on personal growth, taking accountability, and the tension between consuming media he finds entertaining versus recognizing its potential negative impact on impressionable youth in struggling communities.
