WORLD PREMIERE 21.10.10 @ LONDON FILM FESTIVAL - http://www.fireinbabylon.com
To Book: http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff/node/803

An inspiring triumph against the odds story of the West Indies cricket team - transformed from underdogs pummelled by their rivals Australia and England into being world class and unbeaten for 15 years. They were the first all black sports team who enjoyed such a glorious winning streak : their story sits alongside the likes of Ali and Jesse Owens as a sporting triumph that also struck an enormous blow against racism and inequality.

  • the rise of great  Caribbean culture and cricket were together!

  • Can't wait to watch this movie. The greatest sports team ever created.

    Cricket is great, Cricket is better when the West Indies are on fire, hope this film is shown throughout the islands and inspires the people to take it seriously again.

  • amazing movie, I think it must be sad for people like michael holding to see their once unbeatable west indies team now sooo low in their ranks :( . I want them to come back again!

  • plz can u share the names of the tracks used in this trailer

  • being a massive WI cricket i eagerly watched this last week...sorry to say while enjoyable, totally one-sided, blatantly biased and was tempted to stop watching after their reflection of the Indian series of 76/77. Enjoyable doco...good for people who know nothing about cricket or like to remember with rose coloured glasses. . And for the record, i do believe WI had no great fast bowlers when the rules were changed AGAINST the English bowlers after Bodyline.

  • How I miss those days when the Windies scared all the other teams shitless whenever they faced them.

  • Class

  • Not terribly keen on cricket but I look forward to seeing this! The social/cultural aspects are compelling!

  • @salamattamalas I think it was the Australians who really pushed to change the bouncer rules. But the WIndies stopped winning because they stopped producing great cricketers, not because of any rule changes. Shame because I always loved to watch them play and now they can't even produce a decent wicket let alone a decent team.

  • @sahaiscool : that song is there in the documentary, there are couple of more songs too.. which are really very good as this one.

    d song which based on Viv Richards is awesome.

    Plz watch d muvi dude... u wud luv d bg score n all songs

  • This is "THE BEST" documentary I've ever seen based on Cricket.

    It gave me experience to watch a war movie based on a true story. Amazing background music... gre8 cinematography... 'Wow' editing...n really good use of photographs.

    Hatz of to the guys who create this and SALUTE to West-Indies team who were unbeaten for 15 years... Don't 've word to describe my feelings.

    but I can surely say that.."IT"S IS MUST WATCH FOR EVERY TRUE CRICKET LOVER!"

  • Someone help nowwwwwww please what is the song at 0:57
