If you are familiar with the story of Noah’s Ark, you will be very interested in the documentary FINDING NOAH which will be in select cinemas for one day only, October 8, 2015.For thousands of years, mankind has been fascinated by the story of a global flood and one family’s dramatic escape in a homemade vessel. Versions of the story appear in almost every culture, but the most well known is the biblical account of Noah found in Genesis.Historical reports, scientific evidence and biblical accounts point to Mount Ararat, now located in Eastern Turkey, as the Ark’s final resting place. “Finding Noah” examines this evidence in detail, while chronicling the harrowing journey of a team of men in their search for the Ark.

 

The team had to brave dangerous environmental challenges, deadly rock and ice falls, hidden crevices, hypoxia and even terrorism in their quest to find the Ark. “Finding Noah” is not only a chronicle of a scientific mission, but a picture of how far the human spirit will go to achieve a goal. Releasing on the big screen for a one-time Fathom event, “Finding Noah” takes the viewer beyond the myth and science of Noah’s Ark. The event will feature the full-length film, as well as a panel discussion with some of the world’s leading archaeologists, theologians and explorers.

I had the opportunity of watching a pre-release of the movie and I must tell you that it was fascinating to say the least.I don’t want to give the story away so check out this video for a sneak peak.

For over 2,000 years, man has been searching for the final resting place of Noah’s Ark.  Though there have been many attempts, few have been able to fully explore the one place specifically noted in the Bible: Mount Ararat.  Located in Eastern Turkey, Agri Dagh or “The Painful Mountain” is the tallest mountain in the region and lies in the very center of a centuries old, geo-politically unstable hot spot.  With constant threats of deadly rock slides, hidden crevasses, and glacial ice falls, the Kurdish Rebel held mountain poses great risk to any explorer, let alone those performing a thorough scientific investigation.

Join director/producer Brent Baum and the FINDING NOAH film crew as they follow an expedition of intrepid explorers on a perilous trek up to Mt. Ararat’s desolate summit.  There, using state of the art technology and real-time satellite imagery, this team of archaeologist, scientists and professional mountaineers will begin a grid work of exploration unlike any before, hoping to finally resolve the age-old question:  did Noah and his Ark actually exist?

Shot in never-before filmed locations in the harshest of conditions, this unprecedented feature-length documentary shows just how far men are willing to go to discover the truth.  Narrated by Academy Award nominee Gary Sinise, FINDING NOAH is more than a quest for answers, it is a testament of the human spirit, where belief and the need for exploration transcend risk and limitation.

The movie is a must see! Keep in mind that the movie is appropriate for ages 12 and up and runs 116 minutes. You can purchase tickets HERE on the FINDING NOAH website.
