There is phenomenal cricket on show, but much more than that. A skilful documentary about how the West Indian champions became a magnificent symbol of success: a ‘yes, we can’ message to black communities in Britain and worldwide.

Featuring stock footage and interviews with several former players and officials, the documentary describes the ascension of West Indies cricket from being a team largely composed of highly talented, entertaining, “Calypso Cricketers” to a determined unit that dominated world cricket for nearly twenty years.

‘Gripping beautiful intimate Fire In Babylon is the kind of film that makes you proud to be human.’ 4/5 stars. London Evening Standard.
