Reuniting with my dad after 6 years.. 

Update July 1st, 2023: The 21-Day Pay What You Want Window has already closed, and we're super happy for everyone that got to rent the film on it! But if you're here after that and still haven't gotten to watch the film, no worries! You can now buy the film at the link at the description at a fixed price. Watch as many times as you want for as long as you want - use code YT20OFF at checkout for 20% off. it feels quite surreal to be bringing a very challenging chapter of my life in regards to my relationship with family to an end and create space for a new one to begin. I can’t even begin to describe what it meant to see my life’s work, project iceman film, be the very reason my dad completely understood what is it that I do and why. I felt seen by him for the first time since the start of my yes Theory journey. Endlessly grateful to everyone who’s stuck around with us to witness this happy ending. Now please go watch the film and let us know back here in the comments what you thought.. you’re support means the world ❤️ Also for anyone wondering where Thomas is, he unfortunately had to cancel his flight to Dubai 24 hours before departure due to an emergency that came up. He was there via FaceTime and always in spirit 🫶🏽

This was an ABSOLUTELY beautiful reunion. To see your dad beaming with pride brought so many tears to our eyes. Unbelievably happy for you Ammar. You deserve to be surrounded and uplifted by so much love. Love over fear ✨💛

You deserve this moment Ammar, and all the love and emotions that come with it. Seeing your dad give the speech on the day and the emotions you were feeling as he spoke those words to you filled the entire theatre with so much love and compassion. You have always been a person who shares what is truly in their heart, and with that energy over the years you have filled our hearts with love and joy, thank you for all you do and all that you are mashAllah, may Allah bless you and your family with all the love and happiness always brother ❤

Having been concerned about finances throughout my entire adulthood, it's captivating to observe this video and realize that one can achieve alot if goals are set right. Experiencing the freedom of not being preoccupied with the financial concerns that consumed me for numerous years is truly liberating. I suppose this is the result of putting in diligent effort for the future.

I’m sobbing. I remember the day that video went live when Ammar announced what happened with his father. I’m so beyond happy Ammars light and happiness to this world came back to him. His father is so proud of him. He finally sees what I (and many fans) have seen since the beginning. Ammar is on this planet to spread his sunshine soul with everyone. I’ve been a fan for so so long and can’t believe how much times past. Forever proud of Ammar and he’ll always be one of my inspirations in life.

When Dad stood up in the theater and talked about how you shouldn't listen to people who put you down but instead believe in your dreams and goals, i 100% believe he was talking about himself and Ammar, how he now knows that he was the one holding his son back. So so so proud of all of you! This shows REAL progress. In a world with so much darkness, thank you for being my light!

I've never been this invested in someone's story this much ever. I'm very happy for you that you can reconnect with your family once again

It’s crazy how happy one can be for another person that you’ve never met.

This is no longer discomfort. This is ethereal comfort, so magical you will not believe that all is real. So happy for you, Ammar!

That airport reunion broke me. I’ve not seen my dad for 25 years. All I ever wanted was for him to be proud of me. So happy for Ammar and his family.

Ammar kept believing in himself, eventhough the most important person in his life didn't. The tears from his father confirm he made the right decisions. What an incredible story and achievement.

being told by your asian parents that they are proud of you directly is such a blessing

Ammar's Dad went from not wanting anything to do with Ammar and Yes Theory to asking for a t shirt that says " Ammar's Dad" to wear it as proudly as possible. If anyone deserved this happy ending it's definitely you Ammar! ❤️

As a grown man, I was literally jumping up and down in excitement with how Ammar’s dad and entire family was proud of him. It truly moved me because I still remember how disheartened I was years ago with Ammar’s family situation. It resonated with me because my family is also from the same region and acts similarly to Ammar’s family so it gives me hope that they’ll soon open their mind and hearts just as Ammar’s family was able to.

Ammars father saying he is his father and knowing what happened in the past made me cry. My father passed away from cancer in 2020 and being able to see someone get the opportunity to reunite with their father is just an amazing thing. Congratulations Ammar and may you and your family have a life full of adventure, love and joy.

So proud of Ammar and the team 🤍🤍🤍 love you guys

Great video, there is nothing like a perfect marriage or relationship, I learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago I and my wife divorced because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it

It is so cute seeing him being an uncle and meeting his nephew for the first time

This is the most powerful message Yes Theory has brought ever. The fact that Ammar´s family understood the whole meaning of Yes Theory and seeing their son being so happy, an inspiration and loved for so many that´s the best message they could have delivered. I was crying the entire video, I´m so happy for you Ammar. It´s truly a blessing you have your family again with you and now they can understand and be fans of what you do :) Blessings to you all.

I lost my dad in 2018 and I cried the moment you gave your dad a hug. The things I’d do to get one more hug. I am Happy you reunited with your dad Ammar. Yes Theory has been a huge inspiration for over 5 years now. Thank you @yestheory

Seeings ammars dad realize what ammar has made for himself and how much he means to people and inspires others and love every bit of the journey is touching in its own right.

Your Dad seems like a very beautiful soul concerned for the well being of his child. It seems like he struggled in his youth and didn’t want you to experience the same pain and this is why he was so hard on you. Absolutely amazing seeing the reunion and understanding and acceptance of your choices.

I’ve watched Ammar’s entire journey. To see this come full circle is absolutely heartwarming and a testament to a real blessing. All the work and sacrifice and pain and patience, it’s all worth it. 💟

Turns out Ammar’s family are some of the most humble salt of the earth people to have been on this show… Who’s cutting onions!!

Literal chills at the “I’m Ammar’s dad T shirt point” so excited to see his accomplishments and hard work being validated. You are a huge inspiration and we miss you in the videos. Keep it coming!! Love this for خال

I wept. Ammar deserved this BIG TIME. In a lot of ways, his journey is pretty similar to Anders'. Both ventured into the unknown, regardless of the limitations set around them. I can tell why this film is so meaningful to Ammar. Both Iceman and Ammar's story with his Dad (in my opinion) entirely sum up what this channel's message is all about. So thrilled for the Yes Theory team. Also, releasing this film on RU-vid is an insanely cool move. You guys rock & the film is amazing.

Beautiful Video ❤️ I think the pandemic and the economic crisis have taught people how important multiple streams of income are, unfortunately having a job does not automatically mean financial security, I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance in these difficult times

Not me crying this entire video. I couldn't be happier for Ammar, and you can tell how proud his family is now that they understand what he does and who he is to all of us. 🥺

We should all be so blessed to have a loving friend like Steffan! He was the perfect blend of welcoming, encouraging, funny, sincere and also knew when to step away and give them space.

What a loving gesture from Ammar to his family to put the camera down for being in this moment with them. I love that!

As an Egyptian who lives abroad and has faced a lot of the same issues with being accepted for who I am and being criticized for embracing a different mindset or culture I can honestly see how beautiful this moment is and how much it means for you. Wish you and your family nothing but the best❤

I could see the happiness in Ammar's face when he made his father proud of him. This is blood, sweat and tears put into a film like this!

This genuinely made me so much happier. I remember in 2018 when he had such a hard time, glad to see it has come to a conclusion.

Watched it with the biggest smile on my face. So happy for the reunion between Ammar, his dad & fam

Amman, my heart burst with joy for you. Reconciliation can be so painful and you inspire me to be as forgiving as you are. I am estranged from my father and he hurt me very badly and forgiveness is something I very much struggle to grasp. I am so happy for you and how invested your dad is now. So much love 🤍

I'm literally bawling right now. Such a special reunion. I have seriously never cried this much for a video in my life

I’ve cried watching so many yes theory videos, but this one takes the cake 🎂 I’m so happy for you Ammar ❤️

Couldn’t watch this without tearing up, family is everything, and means so much when they got your back

Being a muslim kid from India and a hardcore fan of Yes Theory, I relate with each and every challenge Ammar has faced to change his life and to adapt to the culture and world he wants to live in. Seeing this video makes me very emotional, gives hope and pushes me to challenge the status quo and achieve my dreams. More power to Ammar and his family. Lots of love and proud of you guys.

As someone who lost his father, I can’t begin tell you how happy I am to see this video and witness Ammar and his father be reconciled

I already know this is gonna be emotional

I can't believe I actually cried, I'm really happy for you brother

So happy you got to share this moment with your dad, he looked so proud of you. Beautiful moment. The film was incredible so inspirational

Can't remember the last time I cried so much. Your father's speech - his way to say "I'm sorry" to Ammar, was so touchy and brave. And truly happy for this next step in your life, bro! Congratulations for being brave and persevering on your dream.

Guys I'm going to see my mother after 6 years too, I left my home country for the first time in 2017 and now we're finally reuniting next week, this video has a weird timing and I can even express how I feel right now watching this, good for you Ahmar, you inspired me so much.

insane level of courage it takes to be so vulnerable publically! and what a lovely family you have!

Seeing this notification got me so emotional. I'm so happy for him. I completely understand what it's like losing a father even though they are still alive. Felt for him every time he ever talked about him and his dad. My dad and I are beyond the point of ever reconnecting but it makes me super happy to see this happen for Ammar.

I cannot put into words how happy this video has made me. Ammar went his way, stuck to what he believed in, accepting the dire consequences and got rewarded in the end. I cried. Well done all of you!

Man, I usually don't get emotional watching movies or videos but seeing people I have watched for 5 years come this far had me emotional Keep up the amazing work guys soon you will be at 10 million ❤

after what happened in 2018, seeing the notification for this brought tears to my eyes. and now watching it, i am practically bawling. I’m so happy he was able to have this moment

Stefan has to be one of the kindest souls, so special. This video was beautiful.

Crazy seeing the resolution to this story after all these years. Ammar definitely inspired me to push the boundaries in my twenties being the same age as the Yes team. Truly wouldn’t be who I am today without this channel and the people behind it. Much love forever and always.

I dont think I have cried this much over a RU-vid video because I legitimately feel the pain Ammar has felt over these years and the lack of acceptance of our decisions by family back home... We love you and are inspired by you every day Ammar!

There are no other groups, ideas or communities which resonate with me as much as Yes Theory. Being on this journey all these years with Ammar and the guys, you could sense his sadness but he never stopped, he always smiled. It makes me so happy I was able to watch his positive energy spread to others around the world. He took the discomfort and never let it stop him, nothing short of an inspiration. You guys never fail, each video is a lesson, a journey and has an impact on more people than you think, including myself. Thank you all for the incredibly hard work throughout the years, taking all the risks and making all of these incredible videos which take you on such great and contrasting emotional journeys every time. I will be forever grateful for the perspective you have given me on life, it is something which has changed me for the good and I will carry it with me forever! ❤

He just needed time to understand what his son was doing. Proud of you both ❤

I watched the video that broke us all when his dad wanted him to quit, seeing this reunion was so beautiful to watch, I am happy Ammar's dad came around and is proud of him, despite the rocky few years, this is the beginning of healing for the entire family and I am glad to see it. Congratulations Ammar

2 minutes in and Im already choking back tears. Ive waited so long for you to reunite, and I knew in my heart this would happen in time. I see your father's pride in you, and your family's love. We are all so proud of you. Keep going.

i teared up like a BABY while watching this video, as someone who had his father abandon our family when I was 11, and I am now 28 and I have not talked to him since, I have not gotten a proper explination, not even my mother knows why he truly left... this brought another level of tears to my eyes, SOOOO beautiful. May god protect your beautiful family ammar!!!! much love!!!!

Beautiful story and so glad that you were able to reunite with your family. Bought the film to support and enjoy - congrats on the many successes, here is to many more to come!

This is probably my favorite YesTheory video so far. I am so proud of Ammar and the YesTheory team! Such a beautiful story

Seeing your Dad, who has such traditional views, opening up and saying yes to new things is so wholesome and admirable.

As an Egyptian i can understand everything you’ve come through Ammar. You’re an inspiration for all of us here in Egypt, following you from the very beginning of your journey since project 30. I’ve been telling everyone i know about you and your beautiful message. I know you’re a great person even though we never met. But, i hope you reach further places and achieve more goals and last but not least, i wish you get to peace with everything deep in your soul brother. Much love ♥️

I don't even know where to start. After following this channel since the beginning, this is the most I've possibly just wanted to start balling from a Yes Theory video because Ammar has been waiting for this for SO long. Seeing his father being so proud puts a huge smile on my face. I can feel the weight lifted off of Ammar's shoulders. This has been a long time coming and I'm so happy for him and his family.

Thank you so much for sharing this deeply personal part of your story Ammar. This bought tears to our eyes, happiness for both you and your father to see how lit uo you both were and how proud your dad was. Following your dream and your heart has caused many ups and downs for you and your family but sticking to what you knew was right for you has led to you achieving so much in your own life and has led to this moment coming around. You are an inspiration to not let others put you down or stand in the way of your dreams but to also never give up hope for the things that you want. Thank you again for sharing this with us all.

When your dad walked towards you with excitement and gave you a big hug, it made me cry 😭 also he is also proud of you, he wants to have a shirt with “Amar’s Dad” in it.

Ammar’s dad wanting a shirt that says he’s his dad is the sweetest thing ever 🥹

This is beautiful, right down to those words Stefan said before the exchange. This is a life changing moment to which we are proud in witnessing.

You’re videos are always so touching and heart felt! Your reunion with your family has brought me to tears 😢. Seeing you reconnect with your father is truly admirable.

Watching this come full circle and welcoming this NEW story really brings the fattest tears to my eyes and warms my heart. Seeing Ammar's dad with the seek discomfort hat AND on a helicopter?! 🚁 Him commenting about how proud his is with your and your film. Crying. I am incredibly proud wowowowowow!!!! Ammar you deserve the WORLD ❤

Couldn’t stop my tears when Ammar said “as you saw, I walked in with my family.” Beautiful. So happy for you! Maktub!

I watched the documentary. I am a teacher. And a couple of weeks in the new year i will show the documentary to the kids. To inspire them, like you did to me and you did to my teaching. By seeking discomfert. Thank you.

This is amazing. You guys are on top of the world in what you do and with family on your side, things can only get better from here. All the love and support from Lebanon!

I rarely watch their videos anymore but I'm so happy to see Ammar reunite with his father. I remember how much it weighed on him to have to choose between his dream work and his family. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

i've had tears in my eyes the entire video

The tears ugh I’m so happy for you Ammar. Thank you for being a dreamer and a good soul.

I cried more or less the entire time I watched this. It was absolutely beautiful seeing your dad glowing with so much pride for his son. Imagining the difficult relationship you had for the past 6 years, yet him still being there with such open arms and is heartwarming ❤

The delete screen as the lost shot of this video really touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Such an amazing journey where u followed ur dream no matter how hard it was for the majority of the time but u made something from ur self out of nothing while still hanging on to ur values in life. Congratulations Omar. U deserve all the recognition you are gaining now and ur family’s respect , which I know is the most valuable asset to u now.

I cried and cried. What a beautiful reunion between father, family and son. Earth Life is beyond magical when you follow your heart, create the magic, move mountains for all to see your creation and persist in heart love. CONGRATULATIONS YES THEORY! 💫👏🏼

From a fan of many years, this was the happiest video I've ever watched from YT. So happy to see your dad come full circle in understanding your work and passion and to see the joy and love for you now is unbelievable. Continue to inspire Ammar! Always rooting for you guys at YT.

The love and admiration Ammar has for his father and family is so deeply touching. What an amazing conclusion to such a painful chapter in Ammar's life.

Honestly couldn’t be happier for Ammar, his life has come full circle and so happy that he has regained his family. Thank you for being you. “Love over fear”

Thank you for this. I don't know if you guys realize how much this means to us as well. I'm sitting here crying with the biggest grin I've had in a long time. So so happy this reunion finally happened. Congrats on the success and long deserved recognition from your father.

So great to see his Dad finally came around. He gets it. It’s wonderful.

i could see how proud he was of his son and how much he wants to catch up.. absolutely beautiful. i smiled the whole video

This was beautiful. Couldn’t help but cry throughout the whole video. His dad looked so beyond proud and happy and you can just see how much that meant to Ammar.

Ammar I cried my eyes out with you in 2018 when you shared that hard moment in your life with us, and I’m tearing up right now seeing you reunite with them. Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable. You inspire me.

Seeing how happy your dad was to see you again and how proud he is to be your dad made me cry. This is the outcome we've been waiting for ❤

Ammar, you don’t even know the hope and encouragement this is bringing to so many people! Getting to see your story of your parents coming around to support your dream is something that seems impossible to many, but this is beautiful to watch and really is being such hope! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

WOW guys. This is just so touching. Ammar you have done so many wild stunts that few can even imagine, things that took SO MUCH courage. But I think this is the most courageous. It brings a tear to my eye seeing you reconnect with your father and him embracing your journey now. All the love

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey and being so open and honest about all of it. The good, the bad, the indifferent. You thank us for supporting you, and i get that...but your story has helped so many of us get out of our "comfort zone". So again, Thank You

I have been to the premiere in Amsterdam and it made me so emotional seeing Ammar and his family coming together, the way that YesTheory has connected me with people that feel like family. Thank you so much, I admire your strength

This is a very gorgeous portrayal of your story. Thank you for sharing and being such an inspiration for all of those around you

It is a testament to Ammars character that almost none of us know him personally, or even closely, but seeing him meet his parents again makes us cry and be proud of him and be happy for him. He is a truly amazing human and such a nice person that it's honestly amazing. Congrats to you man, and I can't wait to see what you do next on this channel

Oh man I applauded for you when I saw that your dad had cried. I know what it means to get dad’s approval, I know what you feel and look at you, giving 6 years to have your dad in tears and him being so happy and proud of you.

Congrats Ammar! You were patient all these years building your dream. It's surreal. There's no better feeling than having family being proud of you, and watching the smile on your dad's face. I got really emotional watching this video because I'm also seeking a venture abroad away from family and I put a lot of pressure on myself to make my dream happen and make them proud so that I see the smile on my dad's face. You're a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing this!

OH MY GOODNESS IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. it's been such a long journey thanks for being vulnerable and sharing with us

What an unreal reunion, so happy your dad decided to join your mom and sister! happy for you Ammar!

I was crying through this entire episode, so beautiful seeing your dad and all of your family

I've cried 60% during this video. I am so happy for you, Ammar. To be finally reunited with your family, with your dad. And to show him what your perspective of life is. This was so beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing.

This is wonderful, congrats! Awesome feeling I am sure reuniting with your Dad.
