Friends and Heroes is the epic animated tale of two young people in
the First Century - Macky and Portia - whose idealism and friendship
leads them across the ancient world, from the fabled Egyptian port
of Alexandria, to the besieged city of Jerusalem and finally, to the
very heart of the Empire: Rome. As they fight for justice and even
survival against the might of the Roman Empire, they become friends
and then, in turn, heroes.
Through Macky and Portia, Friends and Heroes brings the inspiring stories
of the Old and New Testament to a new, worldwide generation of children
in the Twenty-First Century, whatever their faith or background. Like
our heroes, children will be empowered by what they see and hear, as
they share the courage and compassion and the everyday dangers faced by Macky and his friends.
And what Macky learns
is that one person can make a difference
- as a friend, or as a hero.
