Fire In Babylon (WI Cricket movie)
They brought the world to its knees,
and a nation to its feet.
Fire In Babylon is the breathtaking story of how the West Indies triumphed over its colonial masters through the achievements of one of the most gifted teams in sporting history.
In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa; race riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the enigmatic Viv Richards, struck a defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, combined with a fearless spirit, allowed them to dominate the gentle game at the highest level, replaying it on their own terms.
This is their story, told in their own words.
Fire in Babylon will show in selected cinemas from May 20 and will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on June 6th..
