Romain Gavras, hijo del director Costa Gavras, dirige una contundente pieza en la que denuncia la persecución étnica
M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.
Apenas veinticuatro horas después del lanzamiento a la Red del vídeo Born Free de M.I.A., el principal canal de contenidos audiovisuales de Internet, Youtube, ha retirado la pieza por considerar que contraviene la política del portal de no distribuir contenidos pornográficos o de violencia gratuita.
Romain Gavras, hijo del director franco-griego Costa Gavras, es el director del polémico vídeo, que funciona como una potente pieza de denuncia contra la segregación y persecución racial. En él, una brigada de policías captura a jóvenes pelirrojos, para luego soltarlos en un descampado, donde bien les disparan o los obligan a correr a través de un campo minado.
Gavras ahonda en Born Free en el estilo directo y ultraviolento que había desarrollado en videoclips anteriores como Stress, de Justice, y en otras piezas audiovisuales del colectivo Kourtrajme desde el que opera desde 1995. El director está en posproducción de su primer largometraje, Les Seigneurs, una road movie en la que sus protagonistas son, curiosamente, también pelirrojos, dos individuos que huyen hacia Irlanda para construirse una nueva identidad.
La letra:
Whooo!
Yeah man made powers
Stood like a tower higher and higher hello
And the higher you go you feel lower, oh

Staying undercover
With a nose to the ground I found my sound
