The Ark of Lilburn

The Ark of Lilburn rediscovers the native lifestyle of the blue-collar working class.

The culture of what keeps America breathing has been lost in the modern-day era but reborn in this original documentary.

What at first glance seems like a journey to move JUST a 50-foot boat from Georgia to Florida develops into a father and son finishing out a dream that was born so long ago. We watch closely as we follow the two along with their family, friends, and co-workers as they struggle through Hardship to complete the lifelong vision.

This documentary emotionally covers the relationship between a father's stern love and the son's grapple for acceptance.

Not only do we watch with anticipation and anxiety to experience the satisfaction of seeing the mission through. But we are taught the concept of working by the sweat of your brow and why we finish things through. The answer lies within the tears of both father and son and the gravitation they earned from the labor and toil it took to accomplish such an impossible task.

This storyline was fantastic. The characters were authentic and immediately I started to pick favorites. Couldn't help but to be hooked by the story and root for the success of their mission!

The documentary-style flow of the film is well done, and interweaves actual interviews of real people who have polarized views of the direction of the mission.

Once you understand the difficulties of the tasks at hand, you almost can't turn it off until you see how everything turns out. I found myself rooting against the naysayers and pulling for the "heroes" of the story. I'm already looking forward to a sequel!!

All I can say, I was skeptical going in but when It was finished I was a believer. You're glued to the TV the entire time. Learning about this steel company, why the owner built this boat, his struggles, and now having to deal with an idiotic Florida man who can't use a measuring tape.

Everything about this show was great and the father/son dynamic was very relatable. The son needs to get a grip and be thankful for everything his Dad has done for him, during those troubling times. Props to the filmmakers being able to capture every moment of this story. I hope there is a Part two or sequel. 10 out 10.

Most documentaries focus on issues you'd be somewhat interested in, so it came as a surprise that there was such focus on such a small town, small company, with such large a large vision. The original music for this adds an extra layer of authenticity and care put in to the production. Cole Porter is no nonsense, no excuses about his priorities and beliefs. Great documentary, something you don't see every day... Jon Arrigoni comes in to save the day! Only wish they spent more time on how easy he made the move look after focusing on such huge debacles and unprofessionalism with the other movers!

Amazing documentary! The story telling is great, the cinematography is very high quality, the score is amazing, the editing is great, and the ponytail guy is an idiot who can't measure! The Kevin guy should have his own show following the ponytail guy around naysaying everything he does.

Props to the filmmakers for capturing this amazing story. The father and son are great, I think everyone who watches this film, will be able to relate to the relationship tension. I love everything about this show and it definitely tugs at the heart strings!

Amazing film A+++++ 10 out 10!!!! Can't wait for the sequel!
