The West Indies cricket side of the 1970s and 80s was one of the most gifted teams any sport has produced, and this documentary tells that story in the players’ own words. In an era of apartheid in South Africa, race riots in England and civil unrest across the Caribbean, the team led by Viv Richards turned its dominance on the field into an open answer to white prejudice. They combined undisputed skill with a fearless approach, replayed the colonial power’s genteel game on their own terms, and ruled it at the highest level for years. Stevan Riley’s eighty three minute British documentary features Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Colin Croft, Joel Garner and Jeffery Dujon speaking for themselves. It won a Grierson Award and was nominated for best documentary at the British Independent Film Awards.
