Welcome to ZION -
That Beautiful City of Drama
What is ZION?
ZION -is a web-based dramatic series!
Never has the time been so right for gestation of a cutting-edge series like ZION to make room for birth. The concept is to explore spiritual life, and current affairs through the lives of those who attend, or are attached, to three South Florida churches. These churches represent worship experiences considered mega, traditional and cutting edge. ZION is the fictional city within a larger metropolitan area where the churches are located. The stories that come out the churches and the area are reflective of skeletons, scandals, and schisms that so many people face. Through each character and story line – all of it is examined in critical moments which challenge not only standard religious mindsets, but also pushing the understanding of spiritual awareness! ZION will be hosted and available from its own site, and will be accessible via YouTube and UStream. The variety will assure increased opportunity for exposure, access, and viewing.
ZION is scripted to feature drama, passion; tough and topical issues like gun violence, HIV/AIDS, cult activity, spiritual abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking and others taken directly from those who live it and national headlines. Some episodes may ruffle feathers; and we hope they do. Our intent is to open up constructive criticism to engage the spirituality and religious dogma more intimately.

What Kind of Impact do You Think This Will Have?
We believe the critical impact that Zion will have is to be a revolutionary discussion starter for those searching for Christian understanding and/or living a spiritual life. Each episode will include a sermonic-infusion which may come as a traditional sermon or through some creative manner.
