*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.

*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.
