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.

Go see Senna - amazing documentary and seeing the onboard footage of Monaco on the cinema screen is outstanding. Very moving film aswell as being somewhat harrowing - the crashes are seriously sobering.

Worth seeing even if you are not into F1/motorsports as its a very good documentary in its own right.

+1 to both of these. I like documentaries in general anyway, but the edits and soundtracks on these two really lent an extra element to the pieces. Both were properly involving, even to a non F1/cricket fan like me, and Senna especially made for a contemplative walk home in the rain.
