GREENE — Robin Williams’ film “Biblical Treasures of Turkey Part 1” will be shown at 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial, 371 Sawyer Road.

The film highlights the Biblical accounts of the travels of the apostles Paul and Barnabas. After the crucifixion of Jesus, the apostle John took Mary to live in safety in Ephesus, and Williams filmed the actual locations. The film covers almost every corner of Turkey and allows the audience to see places that have never been filmed before.

Williams followed the Silk Route to the Kurdish nomads who live on the slopes of Mt. Ararat. Ancient fortresses and Kurdish palaces are peppered throughout the craggy landscape. Sitting by itself in a high mountain valley is the alleged “Noah’s Ark.”

“There is a lot of proof that it is the real ark. It even has the shape of a huge ship,” said Williams.

Independent filmmaker Williams has been on the National Geographic Film Series in Washington, D.C., for over 30 years. He has tracked the great travelers of history from St. Paul to Mozart to Lewis and Clark to Charles Lindbergh.

Admission is free.
