*Much if not quite all of Caribbean life is here. The talking heads,
naturally and fittingly, are led by Clive, Viv and Mikey, but the
storytellers/celebrants also include Bunny Wailer, Lord Short Shirt and
other musical figures, their reflections nestling cheek-by-jowl with
long-unseen action from World Series Cricket and Tests in the Caribbean, all
set to the reggae pulse of Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Gregory Isaacs. The
most bracing aspect is the frankness with which the players, Viv Richards,
Michael Holding, Gordon Greenidge and Colin Croft in particular, describe
the motivation of the black man in a post-colonial world.*
