Project Iceman is the odyssey of an ordinary human setting out to achieve the extraordinary.
Anders Hofman attempts to become the first-ever human to complete a long-distance triathlon in Antarctica (3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km run), “the Iceman”, to show that limitations are perceptions.
In this death-defying journey, we witness how Anders conquers his fears, doubts, and adversities as he risks everything in one of the most extreme athletic feats ever attempted.
It’s a triumph of human potential and spirit, showing that we all can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Hey team, just wanted to share some exciting news:
You are now able to watch our film Project Iceman in the highest quality possible, ad-free with surround sound on Apple TV in 46 countries, and other platforms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Rakuten regionally (more countries, stores, and regions will be added throughout the year).
You’ll finally be able to purchase and own a copy of the film on your devices. Unfortunately, the image quality gets compressed even in 4K on RUclips so we’re grateful that we now have a way to share the film in a way that doesn’t degrade the quality of the cinematic shots in it.
If you're interested in this, here's the link: tv.apple.com/us/movie/project-iceman/umc.cmc.2j4xoi0qa8bydoyfrl272fr4v
Thank you guys so much for this. 🥹🙏 I rode a bicycle with 3 small dogs,from southern nm to southern Maine, this past summer, to run away from a sociopath creating the scariest living situation I’ve ever been in, seizures daily for myself, and my poor dogs pois*ned at the end. Immediately the trip was scary and beautiful, and stayed that way the whole trip, we were surviving in a tent under pretty rough sleeping conditions. Even travel conditions were incredibly dangerous. Almost everyone I met was so amazing. The trip almost unalived me though, due to how dangerous. it was done for epilepsy awarenesss, and saving myself and my dogs from a monster that po*soned my bichon frisé, (he needed emergency surgery). I packed up, built a doghouse trailer for 3, and left on a bicycle. The dogs loved it, but it was tort*re for me. Still happy though because they were happy again. 😇
Anybody can do anything virtually if they are prepared, 😢 sometimes not prepared. Life is too short to be afraid of it. It took us 4 months to make it, got tons of footage, making a documentary out of it hopefully, if I can compile it all. I wish I could get my story out there, to help others needing to leave bad situations to make life beautiful again.
Blessings to you guys, you give a lot of positive motivation in life. Truly.
Love y’all. ✌️💚💛❤️
Hopefully y’all see this, sorry for the double post.🙏✌️☝️☝️
Oh, The film was incredibly beautiful🔥🔥. Extremely inspiring and a great way to show the true strengths of our bodies and our minds.
Human capabilities are so incredible. I’m at a loss for words, truly. 🙏💚💛❤️Blessings to Anders, and crew. And blessings to you gentlemen at yes theory as well 🫡✌️☮️
Love you guys.
It's not a little amount of compression. RUclips totally ruined it for you. The colorbanding is insanely bad. I've been bingeing RUclips 15hr/week since 2012 and have never seen videoquality this ruined by RUclips's compression. I feel really really bad for you. I'm buying this from AppleTV
Thank you.
Hey everyone! Anders here. So excited to finally share this crazy journey with you all! Thank you for all your love and support throughout, we couldn’t have made this film independently and released it for free without you. All the best on your journey towards your biggest dreams, I hope you will use this film as a testament to the fact that we can achieve much more than we think. Much love 💙
PS. I’ll share more of the next journey on this channel here, so make sure to follow along.
#limitationsareperceptions
You’re such an inspiration Anders. Thank you for pushing the boundaries and showing that limitations are only what one carries in the mind, but has no bearing on the spirit and vision one chooses in life. ❤ Thank you.
I am still at the middle of the movie and find it incredibly inspiring and exciting. Thanks a lot!
You are amazing Anders! Such an inspiration. Congrats! Kudos to the whole team. Well done! 👏👏👏👏🥳🎉🥂 - 💓 from Dubai
Best of luck on Project 30!
You are A real inspiration and very strong willed person. Watching this film as made me think about own paths in life and to believe in myself . I am stronger than I realise . Thankyou Andrers
it is actually INSANE that we get to watch this for free if it were anyone else this would cost at least $10. you guys are absolute legends!!
the goal from the beginning for both Ammar and Anders was to be able to make the best film it can be while putting it out for free into the world, and I can safely say as a friend that they 100% did - Thomas
Yes Ice cold generosity 🪼🧊
@@YesTheory I can only agree with this Thomas! So proud of y’ll 😭😭💫❤️
@@YesTheory❤❤❤
Love yall. Hope to do a video soon with the crew
A wise man once said "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." This is one of the people that lived that. Amazing.
Henry Ford. Another great white man.
Damn that’s a great saying
@@rogerc23weird comment bro
He who says he can and he who says he can't, are usually both right.
@@Tyrvana you just said the same thing as the op
It’s absolutely insane how he’s consistently been doing this even when he failed again and again! Huge inspiration for all “Yes Theory” community! Thanks for bringing the hopes and positive vibes!!!
LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!! (this is Thomas so freaking proud and excited to put this out FINALLY!)
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS
So excited!
Thank you Yes theory For this Masterpiece ❤
We are excited too!!!! LETS GOO!!!
YEESSSSSSSSSSS
The relationship between two brothers made me cry. Anton is a really supportive and caring brother. Shout-outs to him 🎉
It got me too!! But it was beautiful!!!
I know right! Brother goals!
Thank you for making this. My dad has had a really rough past 10 years. He not only had both feet and shines removed but has undergone over 70 surgeries. He won't admit how depressed he is. So I talked my parents into watching Project Ice man. I kept redirecting them back to the movie when they tried to talk over it or try to diminish the emotions. My dad was crying. Quietly. It was right at the part at the end when he's celebrating and says about wanting to show people what we can do. I think it helped my dad relax and finally have a smile again. We went and watch a comedy sitcom called community that I highly recommend. My parents where laughing and relaxed and finally just didn't seem to angry. Thank you for making a movie that shows the true human potential to connect. Thank you
I enjoyed reading that. Hope your dad is doing well
Damn that’s beautiful
70 surgeries???! He's so strong. I know he'll pull through
Maybe he isn’t depressed. You just want him to be. He doesn’t t believe in things that take power away from him.
@@diaza0421 Maybe the person knows their father better than you do. Why are you writing this post? "He doesn't believe in things that take power away from him." What does that mean?
Thank you guys so much for letting us into this masterpiece for free. I, as someone who couldn't afford it no matter how low the costs would be, am really grateful and thankful to how much of a positive impact you guys have in my personal life trough all this challenging years. Thank you again!
What a superb 🎥 film. Inspirational, challenging, empowering!
His brother motivating him after the storm is one of the most powerful moments I have ever seen. So awesome. Anders you are an inspiration

WHAT A JOURNEY! Congrats congrats Team Yes Theory and Anders!!
hi michelle
Yes Michelle, congrats to them on this his incredible film!! Also, love watching your amazing videos too!! 🥰👏
hi
Hi Michelle r u going to take up this challenge??
Omg hi Michelle 😭
Dear friends! I'm the kind of guy who usually never ever leaves a comment on RUclips, but I after everything I saw on your channel, I feel a profound urge to express my admiration and gratitude for the love you spread and for the way you do it. I don't think I have ever experienced such an authentic, touching and most of all inspiring piece of work before (for free!!). Thank you for changing my life, thank you for making a change. I love you!
This is the best piece of content I have ever seen.
Limitations are perceptions, teaching this to kids is the most beautiful message ever.
Congrats to the Iceman, his brother the crew ans the @YesTehory team!!!
I was skeptical about the result or if it would be boring. Instead I laughed, cried and felt every emotion portrayed in the film. Great job guys! 🎉
thank you! :)
Unbelievable to be able to see this here! Even with RUclips y’all are doing things which haven’t been done before! Beyond excited to watch now
Anders is a legend 🚀
thank you!! So proud to be able to put this out for free for the world
Also you should totally do a football collab with Anders
Such an unbelievable journey, nearly out of this world. Love the film, the power, the will, the fear, the doubts, the upcoming of life-threatening situations. It really grabbed me.
Such a long time coming! I feel so lucky to have been apart of this project and am so proud of how it came out. Anders is a brother for life and I'll never forget those moments in the tent. Excited to share this with the world!
Good job, glad you had a great time!
@CorySMartin Epic work! I'm so impressed with the quality of everything! Especially working under such harsh conditions. Hats off! Big applause! Congratulations!
Freaking amazing!
Best cinematography- your work here is incredibly amazing.
You guys are the absolute best creators on RUclips and I’m so grateful for your friendship over the years!! I first watched the Ice Man in theatres, and now again on YT with my in laws in the Philippines - and it’s better and better every time. KEEP GOING!!!
We’re blessed with your friendship ❤️
Would be my dream to get into this friendship circle and hopefully one day create a video with all of you! I just love the connections and the stories! People who travel and experience cultures are so much better adjusted and able to take on an adventure! Keep up the epic content guys
hope we meet here in Davao in the future Drew :)
Hello Drew number one fan of you from Kenya love your videos 👇🏾
The sibling bond between Anders and Anton is so pure. They are completely in synch. Anton’s role in this was so important.
I’m literally crying . This is beyond amazing and great work to everyone who took part in this project.
Same, this made me very emotional and it really hit home.
🙏🏼 Thank you for making these stories possible through your support of Seek Discomfort www.seekdiscomfort.com/
We love you, thanks for watching and have a great end of the year :)
Thanks for posting this, so glad I finally get to watch it!! :D
Can't wait to watch it, what a great way to finish the year :)
I wach it again, but this time: I shered it everywhere!
I remember the blizzard that halted the race. Wild that its been so long.
Thank you for sharing this movie with us!
The growth of Yes Theory over the past 8 years is incredibly inspiring
As someone who is suffering unintentionally, seeing you all survive this did in fact give me hope. We are capable of so much more than we ever know until life hands us more than we think we can handle. Illness has taken a lot but also made me strong in ways I am super grateful for. Perspective is everything.
Having completed one ironman race in my short triathlon career 20+ yrs ago with 1 season of training- this is astonishing! I could relate to the mental stages of challenging one's perception of limitation and what you can actually accomplishment when you cross that barrier. Well done Anders. RESPECT.
This was not just Anders reaching incredible heights in human history. It was the whole iceman team who made history 🫂 The whole documentary was an absolute roller coaster of emotions! I was crying, smiling, tensed, relieved, stressed, everything. I am so proud of you Anders! And so happy for the whole team behind this. Thank you Yes Theory ❤
I can confidently say this is the single most inspiring documentary I have seen. There are too many of us who let our dreams go without giving them a chance. Seeing how dedicated Anders was to realising his dream, even in the face of doubt, is incredible and very motivating. Thank you for bringing us this beautiful film :)
His dream was another one: playing football. Iceman was his way to crack the shell.
Totally!
I can never relate to such a dream but seeing him fulfill it is awe-inspiring
I'm a guy from Italy,
I saw a lot of videos on this channel, but i can say with all myself that this is the best video that I have ever seen not just on this channel, but on whole RUclips.
Thank you because in less than two hours you guys did something great.
Suffering, passion, helping people, life, goals, strong mentality and love,
love for the people, love for sports, love for whatever that makes fell alive.
Thank you because these are the things that will change a lot of lives.
This was the most motivating thing i saw or heard in past 10-20 years. I can't event think how much determination and willpower it took to complete the challenge. Physical side, pain and fatigue are the first what comes to mind when thinking about difficulties of such challenge but the mental side of it is the hardest. Congratulations and huge respect. Also thank you for giving me a slight push to get mysefl together and push forward on my life.
Amazing movie! The line on the screen at the end about limitations brought me to tears, it so perfectly defines my journey over the past 13 months. I’ve been hospitalized since November 30, 2022. When I first woke up in the hospital I was told I was never going to leave the hospital and would die very soon. So I spent those first weeks saying goodbye to people I cherished and getting to tell them what a difference they had made in my life.
Sick as I was I got bored and uncomfortable but I didn’t feel like I was dying. Not sure what I expected that to feel like. So I asked the woman in charge of my care team if she really thought I was going to die. She knelt at eye level to me and was quiet for a while. Then she said, “I’ll just say this…I’ve been in this field a long time and I have seen miracles.” Somehow those words made me able to look past the dire words of others and feel more at peace. I won’t say I started to fight back because it never felt that way. What fits more accurately is that I was bored to life. Just being still in bed unable to move my body was painful so I asked for if physical therapy could come and just help me stretch. Took some convincing but eventually it was approved. That therapist asked if I had any goals. My instant response was that I wanted to be able to get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Priorities😂
I’m still very aware of how sick I am. There are good days and bad. But I’ve learned to walk short distances and also use a wheelchair when I want to go further. Three hundred and ninety-one days later (that’s 1173 meals of bland hospital food🤢) I understand I’m medically fragile but no matter what goal the staff sets for me in my heart I set my own and push hard for them. I’m so glad I never accepted the limitations they tried to hand me. One day I may even walk out of here and into a home of my own again.
In the meantime I will not only rewatch this movie but I’ll keep watching all the Yes Theory channels. You create a wonderful window to the world beyond this hospital room. Thank you for that.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ I believe in you and your recovery, anything is possible!! ❤ And life is full of miracles 🌟
Please watch Joe Dispenza's vidéos to créate your own réality . It is never too late ,unless you décide it is .
Love
Sending positive thoughts your way and imagining you strutting out of that hospital one day :)
You are so inspiring! And I second Bridgettepessy…. Dr Joe Dispenza’s work dovetails beautifully with yes theory…hope to meet you in the Field of infinite possibilities!
Don't give in, don't give up, there is no limits! In god, we can do and be everything. Let his power guide you! You got this!
Literally best cinematic experience I've watched this whole year! Congrats to Yes Theory, and project IceMan👏🏽💪🏽
thank you!! That means a lot
Have you just not watched anything then? It's good, don't get me wrong. But the best cinematic piece is crazy.
@@GroteGlonit’s impressive that you not only know everything they have watched this year but think you can have an authority over their opinion.
@@shelbielyon2699 you just did everything you could to completely twist that lmao
@@GroteGlon To be fair, they said this in early to mid January, so you know, I believe them ;)
I have no words to express how insanely proud I am of Anders. This was an incredible story, that has inspired so many people to never give up there on there dreams. Watching Anders overcome all these battles is absolutely amazing, and seeing Anders brother motivating him to keep going after the storm was over was one of my favorite parts. Proud of the Yes Theory team for putting this all together! What an incredible film.
Its literally unbeliveable that he was able to do this. Incredible Human being. He has to get famous
I’m just excited for his future book😂
It's probably the best Christmas gift we could have
asked for 🎁❤
Who else is agree here ??
Merry Xmas to everyone
What an Amazing journey! The film is so well documented, I could feel myself out there with the team and inside the camp, Under the snow in the middle of nowhere. Hatts off!
Hi, Ander's I have followed your journey over sometime now, I am an ironman triathlete and know an Ironman is tough enough in itself. But you are a remarkable young man. Much respect and admiration a now 62 year old triathlete epic video and I love yur attitude far too many people say you can't do this and you can't do that, at my old age I love continuing to break peoples perceptions of what a 62 year old man should be doing. Hats off to you my friend life is far to short to say what if. I often say its about making memories that will stay with you for a lifetime, and those experiences that when you are lying in your final resting place drawing your final breaths. You can smile and be thankfully you lived a life less ordinary. Very well done youngman. very proud to have followed your epic journey.
I am genuinely dumbfounded. The amount of times I cried during this, even now as I type this. Anders is one beast of a human. His mental throughout this entire thing has inspired me infinitely and I genuinely believe now that you can do whatever you put your mind to. If you want it then do it and work hard. Thank you yes theory, thank you anders and thank you to everyone involved in the making of this. Truly a life changing watch
Okay, so I'm one of those "I never comment under YT videos" type of guys, but after having finished this master piece I couldn't just turn it off and not share my thoughts. First of all, thank you Yes Theory and everyone on the team for making this incredible story. It is by far the most inspirational documentary I have ever seen, I haven't seen anything like it before. While watching it, I felt incredibly touched by the journey, and the breath-taking scenery/cinematography was just really "icing on the cake". This feeling just reminded me of why I originally wanted to start making films: to touch people's souls with inspirational stories. Thank You for waking up inside me this forgotten dream of mine! You gave me the best gift: hope.
Beautifully written and I hope you'll follow your dream in some way, I'm sure you would bring a positive impact to the world :)
This straight from the yes theory team ain’t no way a normal person glazing like this over a shit doc
@@swaranka9851 shit doc? how tf is this in anyway a shit doc. seek help
I feel like I'm watching history. Not only is this a tremendous journey and accomplishment on its own, but putting it on RUclips as originally planned is absolute class. THANK YOU
This story is amazing and nail-biting. I wanted to do an iron man but i had an accident where i broke my leg in 5 pieces, still recovering but i probably won't be able to run long distances, walking is even hard sometimes... I'm lucky enough that I 2:33 2:33 can still ride my bikes and do amazing trips with my boyfriend on our bikes. Thank you for showing us that everything is possible, I won't be able to do an iron man anymore, but this gave me hope to fight through the pain and whatever you accomplish will feel like you won 10 times the lottery.
Amazing !!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 i had tears, chills. This def. Gives U.S. life !!! Much respekt and all love from Sweden 🇸🇪
In Dutch "Anders" means "Different." Anders has certainly earned his name, standing out and rising above most human beings in so many ways; and his team deserves tremendous recognition as well. It is all too easy to sit here from the comfort of our homes pressing "like" and leaving a comment; Anders, and his team also, have hopefully inspired all of us to make the best of ourselves. Thank you YesTheory for your tremendous compassion for helping this young man put his (and your) message out there; well done Amar for your great work.
and the ending song🤯🤯🤯🤯 "I'm looking for something DIFFERENT to clear my mind" it's like this project ice man is his go signal for him to pursue again his childhood dream.
Discovering this channel was never a loss, y'all are someone I look upto Thomas, Matt, Derin, Amar, Staffan Keep up the good work❤
I have been following Yes Theory and Anders amazing project for a long time. Congratulations on a spectacular achievement....................all of you. I am an 80 year old Aussie in Munich and I have just watched Iceman and was moved to tears. Fucking brilliant. You should all be proud.
One of the best films on RUclips! The way it was documented was perfect, everyone’s story considered. Definitely left an impression on me and I’m sure many others. Well done Anders and team !!
Holy shit, normally I dont react on yt but this....
The deepest respect to you Anders but also your crew who made this possible.
You guys dont only let see what you can do but also give people the motivation to get the most out of your dreams. Nothing is crazy as long as you believe in it.
Again the deepest respect
So thankful to the team for making this available for everyone to watch! Thank you guys for the amazing uploads
poured everything we had into this, we hope you enjoy
I'm recently facing some challenges (job related as well as personal; very meaningful for me)
This is the exact video I (and probably many else) need right now.
You are a real one. Inspiring. Thank you!
Words can not describe how amazing this story is from start to finish, I was enthralled ,excited, and humbled. Thank you Anders and yes theory.
I've cried, laughed, didn't breathe, been scared, happy... all emotions in 1h like a roller coaster 😊... thank you guys for all your strength and passion and support and for putting this out for everyone to watch ❤💛💙
This left me speechless and I have no words to truly describe the struggle, efforts, hard work Anders Hofman and the crew went through to bring this masterpiece to us. Hats off to you guys. your deserve more success in your life.
Thank you very much for this gift, Anders! 💪
Today, I promise I'll try as hard as you did to conquer my own limitations. A big thank you to everyone involved in this project! 🙏
Monday, January 8, 2024.
Last 10 minutes was really beautiful and emotional for me like cried a lot. Congratulations Anders for being the first Ironman on Antarctica and the team as well congrats ❤🎉🎉🎉
I am two minutes in and already the cinematography is ridiculously good. The effort that has gone into this is bloody mind blowing. Watching this as a film maker myself though, is a whole different experience...I am so glad this video is monetized...I would not feel good watching this without paying for it!
Thank you for making this available to us for free. A beautiful and moving film. Wow. Well done to Anders, his support team and to Ammar for the brilliant documentary ❤️😍 🇿🇦
This is absolutely incredible - every single aspect of it. How you engaged your family, how you had to manage every detail of logistics while training in freezing cold...the way Yes Theory just showed up and gifted you a sponsorship...the way you independently produced this beautiful film. Absolutely stunning. THANK YOU for your incredible contribution to humanity! I've done 3 Ironmans and I'm training for something that seems impossible to me, while running my business. This is SO inspiring - thank you, thank you, thank you! My favorite part is how you were so kind even under so much pressure.
I've been binge watching Yes Theory episodes the whole day but this by far has been your most inspirational production yet. Thank you a million times
This was so incredibly produced. I'm honoured to be on a journey with this channel as it is something so special. Well Done all of you
This was incredible. Anders and his crew brought tears to my eyes- they never let themselves give up, and they exemplified Seek Discomfort past what was reasonable. To the crew, to Yes Theory, and to Anders, you are amazing. Thank you.
Anders, watching your solo swim in that wild environment echoes the mental battles and fear-conquering moments you navigated. Having never attempted such feats myself, your courage and determination are truly awe-inspiring. You stand as a testament to the extraordinary. Thank you Yes Theory for sharing and being part of this massive success.
Brought me to tears multiple times. It is incredible. Everything about this-the film, the team, Anders conquering the Iceman- it is all incredible and really shows how limitations are perceptions. Anders, Yes Theory, and the rest of the crew have outdone themselves once again.
This is insane! "Limiations are perception" this line changed something inside of me! Seeing him almost to the edge of giving up and coming back stronger, shows how much you can do things only if you have a will about it! Thanks to the "Yes Theory" for making this masterpiece.
I just watched this onboard an Emirates flight from Dubai to Bali. Congratulations to YesTheory for producing a full-length documentary, and obviously, huge congrats to Anders for this amazing feat. What an incredible achievement to complete an Ironman in Antarctica. I'm looking forward to continuing to follow your journeys!
Danke!
oh my god. I waited 2 years to watch this. and every minute of that was worth the wait. This is the most insane thing i've ever seen, and i know that its inspired me to go out there and do some crazy stuff, so I can only imagine the impact this is going to have around the world. I can;t wait for you guys to come up with more original Yes theory Films, and for you guys to break all limitations and perceptions about what independent creators can do. Thank you for what you have done to my life and what you have done to the world. You may or may not know it, but things like these change the way that people view the world.
The glaze is glazing
@swaranka9851 Reflect on your comment, If you still think this, let me know, I will then say fuck off and go do something in the life you live instead of being ignorant.
This deserves WAY more views than it currently has!
I love the theme of limitations are just perceptions. It’s so true. We are our first obstacle. I’m inspired to fight harder for my dreams and persevere in the things I know I’m called to do.
Thank you Anders and Yes Theory!! 🙌🏼
This was incredible! I’m crying being inspired by the entire crew- the resilience, bravery. The cinematography is incredible! Great work to EVERYONE involved!
Incredibly inspiring story, thank you for sharing it for free with the world! I have had so many times in my life I thought I couldn't get through, nothing anywhere near the extent of this mission, and there will be many more to come no doubt about it. Belief in yourself is sometimes something we needed to be reminded of especially when we are feeling low and uninspired. Thankyou Anders and the whole team, and thankyou Yes theory for helping make this possible. Good luck to you Anders for your next great mission!
I’m so proud to have been here for the whole journey. Masterclass in film making and the perfect people to make this art piece
Thank you for this!❤😊
Thanks so much for releasing this. Wanted to watch this since I saw the trailer and it wasn't available to watch in my country. Love Yes Theory and all that you do. My son and I will watch this on Christmas day 😊
😊 Great.
Beautiful film. Enjoyed every minute. Congratulations Anders!
hi, I just came across this wholesome documentary about Ander´s crazy journey because of YES Theory (so big thank you for that guys). Although I do bow down and give all my respects to Ander and his dream, he would have never fulfilled it without his constant team of supporter people surrounding this stubborn crazy record yet a dream. I think whenever he was swimming, riding a bike or walking to meet that record he was at all times supported by cameraman, health professionals and family to keep him on track. So for me that is WOW. Applause to the amount of individuals that were present day in and day out to support this human´s own super power by mainly focusing and listening to the power of his own being. Bless you Ander and extra bless to your loved power circle that helped your fulfilled this crazy adventure.
It’s hard to wrap my mind around how truly remarkable this feat is. I’m sure others will attempt and break new records with this in the future, but all those people have a data point and will be able to collectively learn from previous attempts. Seeing the trials and tribulations of the first attempt ever is so inspiring!
Wow. The weather conditions, the mental fortitude, the physical strength, the visuals, the music, the story, the message. EVERYTHING about this was just amazing. Haven’t been this moved by a piece of content in a very long time. Just wow
Amazing, simply amazing! May all who view this not step away without knowing no matter your age, you can do that which others said you could not do! Inspired. Moved to tears. Thank you for making this film. ♥
This changed my life forever!!! Thank you for making it available!! Blessings 🙏
Everyday people remind me that we are capable of so much more than we believe we are. Thank you for being one of those people. Thank you for being inspiring. Thank you for giving people hope.
Goosebumps ❤ It's amazing what a human being can do and achieve ones they push through the "limitations", break the perceptions .... Thank you to everyone who supported it and to you for releasing it here ❤
Hi to all of the Team. Thank you all for showing us limitations are perceptions. And showing us hope that we can go through tough time. You did it ! You've shown that it's possible to do things that seems to be impossible.
I'm so blown away by this. This is an absolute masterpiece with a wonderful message. Congrats to the iceman and thank you!
Wow, I didn't expect it to be available for free. It truly shows this was never about the money, it was about showing someone doing something incredible to inspire others.
They said it would be?
@@losercatlover oh ok. I forgot if they did
@@jblen they said it lots of times 😭
I can’t believe it’s time to be able to watch this on RUclips! 🥶🥺It’s my wife’s birthday today and the first time I watched it was with her as an early supporter for the project. The mini tiny support I could afford back then was and is the most meaningful and emotional support I’ve ever did for a project. I’m crying to see this finally here, it’s just unbelievable… I’m so so so glad that you’re keep going, I’m grateful for the day Anders and the team met each other, for the day Thomas decided to start the project 30.. just.. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me… You showed and taught me so incredibly much.. 🥺😭 It’s tearing me apart emotionally because of how hard you are trying to make this happen for everyone.. my heart is about to explode just hearing the music of this film.. ❤️🔥 You are freaking inspiring, extraordinary, authentic and so human! I love y’ll. I have so much respect for you guys! And much much love to everyone here watching and the whole Yestheory community ⚡️❤️🥺
What a powerful and beautiful documentary! The whole movie was just pure emotion.
Anders and Anton feel most akin to that of Frodo and Sam in LOTR. They all struggle on the path towards a goal which is perceived to be impossible, yet it is possible in the end!
And remember; Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam. We all need our team. Sam and the rest of the fellowship, or Anton and the rest of the Project Iceman team.
Humans are truly incredible beings. Much love and respect for you Anders and the whole team for pulling through this amazing journey and for sharing it. Another positive impact this world and humanity needs.
Saw it in Amsterdam last year and I’m m glad I paid for it & the experience. Met wim hoff & 2 new lifelong friends. Worth every penny. A wonderful film.
This film was an emotional rollercoaster! Thankyou Yes theory for bringing such incredible content to all of us. Anders is definitely an inspiration to break down all the walls that we have within our heads. Wish him all the best with Project 30!
You are an absolute inspiration Anders. A TRUE LEGEND.
Just finished watching. Wow.🤯
I’m only 25 minutes in and I’m in awe of the story, production and execution of this film. YES Theory. You did not disappoint!
i don’t usually comment on videos but wow. what an incredible story. the perseverance, team work, message, everything about this is just so inspiring. this entire documentary is a work of art and i hope everyone gets the chance to watch this. i feel like i can take on the world right now. thank you for showing us that anything is possible.
Certainly the most inspiring documentary i have seen in decades, so much love intensity, brotherhood amd overall tons of hope. I will never tell myself again it's impossible!!! Thank you all guys . One love.
Just crazy!!!!! I finally found time to watch this, simply Insane what Anders accomplished.
I’ve done an Ironman and a 20km open ocean swim. The mental battles you have to fight to expand your belief and overcome fears for them make me so amazed at jumping in to do that swim by yourself in such a wild environment. I don’t even care if you finish or not ( I’m still watching), you are a special human!
I’m not one to be emotionally moved by a movie unless it involves animals of course. But this film created emotions like I’ve never experienced before. The overwhelming tears of happiness that you brought out…I can’t thank you guys enough for what you do. Congrats Anders! 🎉🎉
What an amazing achievement. Amazing job, Anderd and team! I have been watching with tears in my eyes at those group moments. So much love and strenght that comes out of breaking through boundaries together. You have definitely inspired me and I'm sure many many others. Much love from the Netherlands ❤
HOLY CRAP!!! THIS WAS SO SO SO GOOD!!!! Thank you for posting this online so we can all see it. So proud to have donated to this1
This Film touched my heart. The tremendous effort these guys took to even initiate this kind of a challenge seems AMAZING to me!!! The goal that Anders had to complete this Iceman and then achieving it actually makes me proud. First after hearing about this project few years ago on yes theory I thought this would be not a difficult task to complete but after seeing all the hardships that the team had to face during the storm and even the whole iceman made me realise that it's not easy to do anything that hasn't been done before. The level of dedication of the team and especially Anders has given me a new sense of vision.Anthon was a great support to Anders from day 1 and even when anders thought his dream couldn't be achieved, salute to him for that. After learning about the backstory of Anders and his ridiculous dream that no one thought he could complete but he then proved everyone wrong by doing so what he said. I got to see everything I was promised to see during this movie. Thankyou Yes Theory for making this dream of Anders possible when it was on the verge of ending. Anders, Thanks to you for making me believe that anything is possible until you believe it's possible. Waiting for the PROJECT30!!!
This film made me cry and that doesn't happen often. Great Job done by the whole yes theory team for putting this together and Ammar for putting his soul for this project to happen. Ammar didn't appear in a whole lot of videos just for this project to be perfect and succeed well. Again, Thankyou for making his dream come true
I can’t believe it’s finally out on RUclips. Congratulations to the entire iceman film team!
You are truly amazing Anders showing how brave,courageous and determined you are to finish such a difficult challenge.. ..not only you but also the people you are with..everyone is so inspiring..the message of this movie is so profound and im sure that all who watch will be really inspired by what you have shown..Yes theory this is one great project..thanks so much!!!
The RUclips algorithm recommended YesTheory to me and I’ve been rapidly working my way through the entire catalog knowing I would eventually make it to this one when I had the time. Wow, what an incredible journey and a massive accomplishment for Anders and his entire team, I get cold stepping on an ice cube in my kitchen floor so major props for you!
Thanks to the YesTheory channel for bringing such high quality content that showcases the true wonders of the world (the people) best of luck with Project30, I expect I’ll be buying your jersey soon
What a masterpiece! I had goosebumps the entire time and the whole documentary was incredible. So proud of everyone that made this happen and especially proud of Anders and Ammar for their commitment to this project! 💙
