Matangi/Maya/M.I.A

An insightful, frenetic, music-filled, unevenly paced, 96-minute, biographical political documentary that consists of personal video recordings, concert footage, photographs, and snippets from her songs (such as Bad Girl, Born Free, Sunshowers, and Galang Radial-Chic) to chronicle approximately 22 years in the life of critically acclaimed, candid British hip-hop singer/songwriter Mathangi ‘Maya' Arulpragasam, who moved from war-torn Sri Lanka with her family, as she rises to fame and her controversial efforts to bring to light the inhumane condition in Sri Lanka and its government's genocide of her Tamil people.
