'Fire in Babylon' will be released across metros on September 21 in all PVR cinemas.

The documentary, directed and written by Stevan Riley, is about the great West Indies cricket team of the 1970s and 1980s.

It highlights the struggles the West Indies faced as a country and how cricket acted as a unification factor in bringing the many islands, which became independent from the British colonial rule, together under the banner of a world class cricketing unit.

Shot in a documentary style, it features the stories of Viv Richards, Malcom Marshal, Michael Holding and Andy Roberts.

Raghu Iyer CEO Rajasthan Royals, said, "We found an immediate connect with the amazing story of the legendary West Indies cricket team, and that of the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.

 

"We are very happy to be associated with the movie and encourage our fans to step out and enjoy this beautiful and well told story," he said in a release.
