Fire in Babylon
Feature documentary about the great West Indies cricket group of the 1970s and'80s. Fire is the stunning story of the way the West Indies triumphed within its colonial masters through the accomplishments of a few of the most teams in sporting history. In a era of apartheid in South Africa, race riots in England and civic unrest from the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the natives Viv Richards, struck a blow off at the forces of prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, along with a fearless spirit, let them dominate the game at the maximum level. That is their story, told in their words.
