Well THAT was a pretty intense video! Although this shouldn’t be in anyway surprising considering that the director of this video Romain Gavras is the same man that brought us the super intense Justice video “Stress”. “Born Free” is the first “official” video from M.I.A.’s soon to be released, yet currently untitled album. Just like “Stress” Romain Gavras brings his signature intensity through a nine minute opus of violence and incredibly disturbing imagery set in M.I.A.’s (new) hometown of LA, which seems fitting. This is not something you want to watch at work, but it certainly is worth watching.
Enjoy!
