Fire in Babylon*
GB 2011. E&G/Hargitay & Hargitay Pictures in Motion/Cowboy Films/Passion Pictures. 87m.
Documentary charting the rise of the West Indies cricket team to world dominance during the politically explosive 1970s and 80s.
Interview-linked narrative with several insightful contributions from most of the West Indies' greatest players combined with some evocative archive footage; as a sports film, as vibrant to watch as Senna and When We Were Kings although slightly less dramatic, and lacks an outside non-West Indian voice.
Written and Directed by: Stevan Riley.
Producers: Charles Steel, John Battrek.
With Contributions by Viv Richards, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Gordon Greenidge, Clive Lloyd, Bunny Wailer, Frank I, Colin Croft, and others.
Photography: Stuart Bentley.
Music: Various.
Editing: Peter Haddon.
