Fire Burn Babylon

Summary When a volcanic eruption devastates the Caribbean island of Montserrat three Rastafarian friends leave their rural retreat and resettle in London. The men's lives and beliefs transform as they rediscover new ways of living in the city that they believe represents their spiritual nemesis, 'Babylon'.

Will their dreams of celebrity be realized before the law catches up with them? What happens when the birth of their children by non-Rastafarian women introduces new values in their lives? What happens when the three friends start to have different visions of the future? Will they fall for the thrills of 'Babylon' or recommit to their Rastafarian ideals? "Fire Burn Babylon" is told through the eyes of the men themselves, the women who love them and the elders who guide them. View more details
