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

M.I.A.'s amazing video "Born Free" has been pulled from YouTube for its either too graphic or too "controversial" material. M.I.A.'s website then directed viewers to Vimeo. The violent Romain Gavras-directed work is nine razor-sharp minutes long. The narrative quite sinisterly weaves America's War on Terror/Gitmo and immigration policy and suspicion of the "other." It's allegory. And it's powerful.
