About the Series

Friends and Heroes follows 14-year-old friends Macky and Portia as they navigate the ancient Roman Empire as friends of Jesus – fighting for justice with courage and compassion, learning and sharing the stories of the Old and New Testaments, and becoming heroes along the way! Episodes 1-13 are set in Alexandria in 69 AD and episodes 14-26 are set in Jerusalem the following year.

 

Meet the Characters

Macky is a bright, funny 14-year-old boy that is sometimes courageous and sometimes confused, like any teenager! He loves Jesus and his teachings and dreams of freedom for those oppressed by Roman laws. Macky is joined by Pontius the Parrot, his feathered friend who he turns to often when he needs help.

Portia is a 14-year-old aristocratic Roman girl who has grown up with the best of everything! When she meets Macky, she is drawn to the teachings of Jesus and begins to help others in need. She lives with her cold and ruthless uncle Tiberius, the Roman Governor of Alexandria, as her father is far away with the Roman troops.
