FIRE IN BABYLON is a remarkable documentary about how the West Indies triumphed over its colonial masters through the achievements of one of the most gifted cricket teams in sporting history. In a turbulent era of apartheid and race riots, the West Indian cricketers struck a defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisciplined skill and fearless spirit led them to dominate the genteel game at the highest level, while playing it on their own terms.
