A documentary on the West Indies cricket team's rise to being the best in the world, and one of the greatest cricket teams the world has ever seen, in the late-1970s and how they maintained that invincibility in the 1980s. Among the interviewees are key members of that team, including Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Colin Croft, Joel Garner and Deryck Murray.
The West Indies cricket team of the late-1970s to early-1990s would be a candidate for greatest cricket team of all time. It was unbeaten in Test series from 1980 to 1995 and possessed an aura of invincibility. The players in that team include some all-time greats, many of whom are interviewed in this documentary.
The documentary does the team and the players' achievements great justice, showing how the West Indies learned from previous experiences to become a much tougher side and how once on top they didn't let the crown slip.
While the interviews with the players are great, the interviews with everyday West Indians highlight what the team's accomplishments meant to them. This said, the non-player interviews are also the only negative part of the film as some don't add anything and are quite unnecessary.
