Thank you for inviting us into your homes. This is really wonderful to be with all of you for this beautiful celebration.

It's been five years since we had the privilege of having people look inside, date with destiny.

It was an incredible experience. And so we decided to be beautiful to kind of give you an update and give you an exposure and just kind of celebrate the date half a decade later.

The event was actually December of 2014, but you know it takes a year to put things together and then it has to be sold to a studio and Netflix bought it once some nice awards.

It was just really a beautiful period, but we thought it would be nice to have you meet the man who created it, give you some behind the scenes on that.

And then maybe give you an update on some of these people five years after the film, but seven years later.

And let's get started. I'd like to first start before I start. I'm using all the talking. I'm used to do all of myself. My beautiful bride by say droppens everybody ladies and gentlemen.

Hello everyone. Thank you. Blessings to you. And it's just we've never done a format like this and it's this particular event and actual when we filmed, I'm not your group. It was just so here to us.

And we had the privilege to partner with Joe Berlin, Joe. We're looking for you to looking forward to joining us today. And it's just a real treat.

This is like a fireside chat. We've never had this setting and thank you for joining us. Thank you for your willingness. Thank you for your heart and love.

I can't remember how many countries. 158. 158. We're really deeply touched. So thank you. We look forward to just serving you.

We really didn't want to I didn't want to make this documentary before I introduced this gentleman who's just extraordinary human being. And my wife didn't want to make it either because it's such a private environment.

You know, they were destiny. We we used to doing big stadiums of people. And then you know, they would definitely we keep to just 5,000 people. Which may not sound big to you, but comparative 15,000 is quite intimate.

And the idea that we're going to bring cameras in there was like, I don't know about this. And sage was not really for it either. In fact, I remember this man, Joe Berlinger, you're about to meet. You know, I invite him to come to a seminar originally. I met him. I just felt struck by one incredible human being is.

I had seen one of his documentaries, which was the one of Metallica. And believe it or not, it gave you insight. It was like a psychological film. And it was all just real and real time.

It was just gorgeous. It was raw. It was real. You got to see these men as human beings. You got to see their upsides or downsides. And I was just touched by it. So when I met him in person, I mean, this is a guy that has made films that has saved people's lives.

He made a series of films documentaries about people that were locked up in jail for murder. And they were innocent. And he actually, after more than a decade, got them out.

And I thought, a man of this caliber. And when I go to the anime, I'll be honest, I didn't feel like he was happy as I wanted him to be for his life, because he's such a good soul.

So we made this connection. And I invited him to date with Destiny as my guest. And he has stayed a little bit. But I'll let him tell you the story. But I'm grateful for him because if it wasn't him, my wife never would agree to it.

He's still took two years and chasing us afterwards. But I'll let him share with you. The man I'm about to share with you. He is the producer of this film. He's director writer. He's an award-winning filmmaker. He has Academy Award nominee. He's three time Emmy Award winner. He's had eight nominations. He's got a Peabody winner. He's got three critics choice award-winning times. He's got three times director of the Guild Award winners. He's eight films that premiered at the Sundance. And as I said, he's saved lives. He's a beautiful soul. Please welcome Joe Berlin, Joe, please.

I'm so grateful to see you guys. I wish we were in person together. He too. But it's really such an honor. Boy, I wish all my films had this kind of resonance and celebration and love from the subject five years later.

Well, we both certainly heard some great things over the years from people that have watched the film. Tell us tell the story to everybody about how this came about because most people have moved.
