MIA Born Free Music Video Censored



Above Russia Today covers the story of musician M.I.A.'s new single "Born Free" being banned by YouTube. The video imagines a dystopian future in which redheads are the target of a genocidal campaign. M.I.A. has not released a statement regarding the video's message and may leave it to our imagination.
