One of the best documentaries that I have seen this year is the superb FROM THE ASHES. Yes, it’s about cricket, but it’s awesome, and I hate to watch cricket. A full review of the film will be hitting the site shortly, so keep ’em peeled, but here’s your chance to win a copy of the movie on DVD. We have three to give away!
From The Ashes is the uplifting and remarkable tale of a summer that changed England forever. July 1981, rioting and discontent rule the streets of Britain. Meanwhile, on the playing fields, England are 1-0 down after two tests against the old enemy, Australia; and Ian Botham, their iconic all-rounder, has resigned as English captain, moments before being pushed. With English cricket on the brink, bookmakers offer odds of 500-1 against an English win in the 3rd Test. Yet, a reinvigorated Ian Botham refuses to lie down and rediscovers his cavalier flair in a series of match-winning performances that enthral a nation and see the Ashes retained.Narrated by Tom Hardy (Bronson, Inception) and packed with match action and contemporary interviews with the chief protagonists – including Ian Botham, David Gower, Mike Brearley, Bob Willis, Rod Marsh, Australian captain Kim Hughes and more – From The Ashes tells the evocative story of one of sports’ greatest ever comebacks.
All that you have to do to be in with a shot of winning is answer the question below.
