Video: M.I.A.'s "Born Free"

After reading about all the controversy, I finally came across M.I.A.'s new video for "Born Free" last night. And I love it.

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

I think the video is very powerful. Even though the video is fictional, this is currently happening with certain ethic groups in different areas of the world. My only advice is do not watch it right before you fall asleep. I did that last night and ended up having a nightmare about armed soldiers chasing me down.
