Film crew in hunt for Ark

A CITY production company is to climb the mountainous peak where Noah’s Ark is said have beached as part of a documentary tracing the footsteps of a missing “Ark hunter”.

Staff from Plainview Films re jetting off to Mount Ararat on the Turkey-Iran border where – according to Genesis – the Ark came to rest. They are following the experiences of Derick Mackenzie whose brother Donald vanished from the area in September 2010.
