  • サマリー

  • This project is a 10-episode mini-series podcast along with its supplementary content that tells the story of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, a distinct branch of the Rastafari faith, led by Niah (Nyah) Keith Gordon in early 1970s Jamaica. The story is narrated by Alan, an old church member, a close friend, and confidant of Niah. During a very historical and turbulent period in Jamaican history, the church spearheaded the movement of marijuana from Jamaica to the USA to uplift Jamaicans not only financially, but educationally, and spiritually. The church aimed to provide a living example of the works of Marcus Garvey and to promote a spiritual and historical understanding of African heritage and culture.

    The project aims to provide an accurate portrayal of the church's history in contrast to the manipulative and misleading content produced by American mainstream media in the 70s. It promises to be an exciting, adventurous, spiritual, and informative story filled with historical facts and highlighting the political environment of that time.

    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.

    “First Spliff” provides vital context into who Alan was before he stepped foot onto the island of Jamaica. From early childhood in 50s Detroit to his first spliff in 60s rural Iowa, we follow Alan’s journey of draft dodging and Berkeley hippie politics. The episode culminates with his pinnacle sojourn across the country, hitchhiking from Berkeley to Miami with $120 to his name and one goal in mind: get to Jamaica.

    Touching down in Kingston, Jamaica, on a warm 1972 night, the twenty-something-year-old Alan encounters a world foreign to him. Making his way to Brother Louv’s Rasta Camp, Alan is met with the revelation that his arrival was expected. Believing this is a great adventure, Alan decides to stay and learn more about this fledgling movement - the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church. Despite sickness, police raids and even deportation, he finds himself enthralled. The longer he stays, the more his thinking changes. Brother Niah Keith - the Jamaican leader of the Church - explains that their mission, inspired by the prophecies of Marcus Garvey, is to build a Black Kingdom. But how are these impoverished Rastas supposed to build such a kingdom? Well, see the title.
