  • *Airplane Noise*

  • Here we go. This is the biggest team we've ever had,

  • *Music*

  • the most amount of gear we've ever worked with,

  • *Music*

  • and the most amount of money we've ever spent on a project.

  • *Music*

  • Today, we released our new film on yestheory.com/documentary.

  • And it is indeed the most ambitious film project we've ever undertaken.

  • Making this release day a really exciting day for us.

  • But before I show you the insane trailer that we cooked up for this thing,

  • Let me tell you, how we got here.

  • *Music*

  • The biggest, and most expensive production we've ever been a part of...

  • Was obviously the one that's right behind me.

  • The reason that was ever even possible

  • was because 26 thousand of you went to comment on his YouTube channel

  • letting him know that we challenged him.

  • Which eventually, with the power of this community

  • made YouTube Originals want to jump on that opportunity to have Will Smith perform such a huge stunt on their platform.

  • And they, ended up paying, for the entire operation.

  • Show me the money.

  • *Laughing*

  • And then, from the canyons of Arizona,

  • we found ourselves in the mountains of Poland.

  • Filming our first ever documentary with the unpredictable Ice Man, Wim Hof

  • *Roars*

  • That we fully paid for, ourselves.

  • *Record Scratching*

  • *Screaming*

  • And that brings us to our latest documentary.

  • About a year ago, our friend, Perry came back from a trip to Guatemala,

  • where he met a guy,

  • who claims he could take us to the largest pyramid in the world.

  • But here's the thing,

  • this place is rarely explored,

  • and takes days of treking through the thick Guatemalan jungle to get there.

  • And as we were doing research about this place, we realised that,

  • there wasn't too much said about it.

  • And when the dots connected for us.

  • Why don't we take this opportunity, to not only create the most epic film that we've ever created,

  • but also tell a very personal story that Amar started filming five years go

  • before we ever even knew that we would start Yes Theory.

  • And for that reason, we wanted to make this film exactly the way that we want to make it.

  • Pay for all the creator's expenses coming along with us on the trip,

  • hire an entire crew in Guatemala to take us there,

  • and of course, the most bad-ass editing team to help us bring this documentary to life.

  • So, we have decided to create a pay-what's-fair model for the release of this documentary.

  • Which means that if you're interested,

  • you just pay whatever you can.

  • Our suggested contribution is $5.

  • Which is the price of a Starbucks coffee,

  • and we definitely believe our documentary is worth more than a freaking coffee.

  • Once you have contributed, we're gonna ask you what your biggest dream is,

  • and pick one person who supported our documentary and make their dream come true.

  • So, if you want a chance of that happening,

  • go to yestheory.com/documentary

  • Since we want this documentary to be available to everybody no matter what income level you're at,

  • what part of the world you live in,

  • or whether you have a credit card or not,

  • it will eventually be released here for free on YouTube just like we did for the Ice Man documentary.

  • But, we are banking on the power of this community to make this a successful experiment for us.

  • We want to continue empowering creators to tell interesting stories

  • on a scale that can compete with what you see on netflix,

  • or other streaming platforms.

  • but obviously, it is not cheap for us to do that,

  • so this is an experiment,

  • and we hope that you will support our project by going to yestheory.com/documentary

  • right now.

  • Again, our suggested contribution is $5

  • but if you contribute $100 or more, you will be listed in the credits at the end of the documentary that will be living on this YouTube channel,

  • forever.

  • but, before we go any further,

  • I think it is time for you to see this trailer.

  • *Eerie Noises*

  • First dream I ever had, I ever remember having as a child,

  • was when I was five and I visited the pyramid

  • with my dad for the first time.

  • I remember, just like the scene was just like it pointed up and I was like, "I want to go up there."

  • And them my dad said I can't.

  • And I said why. 'Cause- he said you just can't.

  • That was the first time my conscious mind remembers...

  • Being like, "Oh, I'm gonna do that.:

  • *Music*

  • From the air, it looks like just jungle.

  • These forests in Guatemala hide an ancient secret.

  • This is a pyramid, and according to the Mirador basing project, it may be the largest pyramid in the world.

  • We ask protection for the group.

  • We are praying for you guys.

  • *Speaking Foreign Language*

  • This is for every kid out there,

  • To dream the wildest they can, to dream the biggest they can.

  • *Music*

  • *Drone Buzzing*

  • *Music*

  • I've never felt motivated, never felt happier, never felt stronger in my mind.

  • *Music*

  • It sounds like we're in Jurassic Park right now

  • *Howling*

  • Oh god!

  • *Music*

  • Woah. Oh my God.

  • *Music*

*Airplane Noise*
