[3] Specifically, over the course of eight years, Perenchio and Walton documented training for recruits in Alaska and California, and also spent several months working with the SEALs in Afghanistan.
[4] Perenchio's work on Navy SEALs has been featured in Foreign Policy,[5] the Chicago Tribune,[4] and the Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
[6][7] Perenchio has noted that her motivation to document the service of Navy SEALs was based on a conversation she had at a dinner party with Vice Admiral Robert S. Harward.
The two continued to stay in touch and after the September 11 attacks, Perenchio contacted Harward about the project, where he allowed her and Walton access.
"[4] She has also done documentary work examining endangered animals on the African continent, and evaluating the impact of wartime on women and children living in Afghanistan.
