My friends and I shared the stories of our people's heroes... and soon we became heroes too. The ancient world of the First Century comes alive in this epic animated series from an award-winning team, with major credits on films including The Miracle Maker. Friends and Heroes follows the adventures of two friends - Macky and Portia - as they fight for justice, and even survival, against the might of the Roman Empire. Â In Episode 12, No Way Out, Macky and his family have left Alexandria and sought safety out in the desert, but news from Sollie takes our heroes back to the city, where they encounter an old adversary who has learnt some important lessons. The story of Jonah and the Big Fish, and the parable of the Prodigal Son show our friends how important it is to be obedient, and to strive to make positive choices. ÂIn Episode 13, No Turning Back, with Samuel imprisoned and Caleb injured, Macky, Portia and the gang devise a scheme to use storm rainwater to flood the palace jail, hoping to force the guards to open the jail doors. Portia is given worrying news by Tiberius, and Macky reaches one of the most important decisions of his life. Our friends retell the stories of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal and the First Pentecost, which help them understand the true value of steadfastness and of God's inspiration.
