MUSIC VIDEO: "Born Free"

I know "Born Free" is a music video, but its more of a short film. It totally left me like, "omg." Seriously, this is Rated R for violence, but what a powerful message. Romain Gavras did the Justice "Stess" video too, which I like.

"When it was released on Monday, “Born Free” quickly drew excited responses from around the Web: MTV wrote that it “depicts the kind of things that most nations — including the U.S., which is portrayed as the aggressor in the clip — often pretend don’t happen” and “it does so in an unflinchingly, unapologetically real way,” and Spinner.com wrote: “If you’re into cinematic displays of violence that make overt political statements about the way state-run armed forces control people, then this one’s for you.”" -- Arts Beat
