I’ll Always Be Your Brother is a 10-part mini-series podcast that explores the true story of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church. An offshoot of the Rastafari faith based in Jamaica, the church, under the leadership of Niah (Nyah) Keith Gordon, uplifted the lives of Jamaican people financially, educationally and spiritually during the 1970s.

Playing an important role in the spreading of Marcus Garvey and Pan-Africanist thought, the group rose to prominence due to their radical actions in transporting Ganja (marijuana) into the United States of America.

Told through the eyes of Alan, a white American hippie who found himself in Jamaica and soon became a close confidant of Niah, this series strives to provide an accurate portrayal of the church’s history - dispelling the misleading and manipulative content produced by the mainstream American media at the time. Resulting in one of the first legal attempts at legalizing Ganja, this series promises to be an exciting, adventurous, spiritual, and informative story filled with historical facts and political insights.
