Fire in Babylon

Documentary


The critical consensus

A treat for cricket fans who'll thrill to this nostalgic look back at one of sport's greatest teams.

***(*)(*)Phil de Semlyen, Empire Online, 16/05/2011

An enthralling watch.

*****Chris Fyvie, The Skinny, 16/05/2011

It powerfully demonstrates how the successes of these sportsmen, in a game associated with white colonial superiority, proved inspirational in the global struggle for black equality.

****(*)Tom Dawson, Total Film, 16/05/2011

As vibrant and exuberant as the subject deserves.

Tom Seymour, Little White Lies, 19/05/2011

Joyous and uplifting.

****(*)Marc Lee, The Telegraph, 19/05/2011

This absorbing documentary, using interviews and contemporary footage, sets their ascendancy within the wider context of black consciousness and the emancipation from colonial rule.

***(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 20/05/2011

The film does a decent job of weaving together these socio-political and sporting elements into a narrative that's compelling enough even for those with no interest in the sport.
