One of the most riveting documentaries that shows the mighty West Indies team in their pomp during the 1970s and 1980s. A documentary that tells the story of how the West Indies fast bowling attack, terrified international batsmen during several series and also helped them win back-to-back World Cup titles in the 1970s, rose to prominence, and went on to dominate the sport of cricket for almost 15 years.
Featuring all the main characters of West Indies from the 70s and 80s like Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Michael Holding, Joel Garner, Andy Roberts, and more, it is an engaging watch, especially for a young cricket fan who has only read or listened about the dominance of West Indies team.
