M.I.A. is no stranger to controversy, and she has made sure the two are practically bedfellows with her new video for “Born Free.” Part political statement, part dystopian vision, the video may be the most violent, graphic and thought-provoking you’ll see this year—and has already been banned from Youtube. Oh, and red-heads, brace yourselves. You’ll get that after you watch.
