Saw Fire in Babylon at Everyman yesterday. Brilliant documentary film exploring how the best ever team of sportsmen (The W.Indies were undefeated in test cricket for a straight 15 years. Fact) came to be against a background of racism. How 4 vicious bowlers came to bring a team of brutish ozzies to tears with a severe thrashing how they went on to make their former colonial masters, the england team, 'grovel' at the oval. And all this to a fab reggae and dub beat. A film not only for cricket fans.
