“I love this cartoon,” says George, the SAT-7 Acquisitions Manager. “And children who watch it will love it because it’s full of adventure.”
SAT-7 recently began broadcasting this wonderful animated series about Macky and Portia, two young friends living in the first century who are caught up in a rebellion against the Roman Empire. In the process of trying to survive they learn Bible stories. The programmes were produced by Friends & Heroes Productions in the UK. George adds, “Children and adults will love it not only because of the great stories, but also because at the end of each episode you are left hanging in suspense, wondering if the main characters will escape with their lives...”
SAT-7 KIDS broadcasts Friends and Heroes in Arabic and Farsi in the Middle East.

"Friends and Heroes has always been great value-for-money with two episodes per DVD; but on this one you get three. We wait to see what happens to Macky and Portia in Rome." Andrew Wright - Five star review of DVD13

"Tami Adewunmi watched the (Friends and Heroes) DVD with daughters Rebecca, seven, and Monique, four. The family regularly attend a local church and the children are very involved in Sunday school activities.
‘We found this DVD very appropriate for us,’ said Tami, ‘The story line was based on two sisters who had to learn to trust and understand each other. The girls were so touched by it, that when it had finished, they hugged and said sorry to one another.’
Monique Adewunmi said ‘It was very good. We really liked it and one of the sisters was called Rebecca like my sister.’ Her sister Rebecca added, ‘It showed Monique and me how to forgive like in the Bible.’"
