Time magazine named her as one of the Top 100 influential people in the world. And now she has everyone talking.
M.I.A's short film for her new song "Born Free" has stirred up a lot of controversy regarding gratuitous violence. The singer and political activist teamed up with director Romain Gavras to create a video that depicts the violent round-up of redheads by troops (wearing U.S. badges) and features brutality, nudity, obcenity and summary execution.
pretty extreme.. but i've gotta give it to her for being gutsy and speaking out. the video is obviously getting the attention she wanted/knew it would and shedding light on the abuse and prejudice against redheads.
ReplyDelete.... and i think she's awesome.
