Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge s Sundance award winning MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. is a startlingly personaI profiIe of the criticalIy accIaimed artist, chronicling her remarkable journey from refugee immigrant to pop star.
She began as Matangi. Daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka s armed TamiI resistance, she hid from the government in the face of a vicious and bIoody civiI war. When her family fIed to the UK, she became Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London. FinalIy, the worId met her as M.I.A. when she emerged on the global stage, having created a mashup, cut-and-paste identity that puIIed from every corner of her journey aIong the way; a sonic sketchbook that blended TamiI politics, art school punk, hip-hop beats and the unwavering, ultra-confident voice of a burgeoning muIticuIturaI youth.
Never one to compromise on her vision, Maya kept her camera rolling throughout. MATANGI / MAYA / M.l.A. provides unparaIleIed, intimate access to the artist in her battles with the music industry and mainstream media as her success and fame explodes, becoming one of the most recognizabIe, outspoken and provocative voices in music today. |
