Fire In Babylon

Documentary about the inexorable rise of the West Indies cricket team in the 1970s to become the dominant power under the leadership of the charismatic Clive Lloyd. Against a backdrop of apartheid, Lloyd and his men attempt to break the stranglehold of Australia and England by changing the make-up of the team and recruiting a new generation of fast bowlers. The film intercuts footage from the era with interviews with the men who were part of this revolution.
