New US Trailer for Vibrant Doc About Musician 'Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.'

“Music was my medicine. It just blew up so quickly…” Abramorama has released the first official US trailer for a documentary titled Matangi/Maya/M.I.A., a profile of the badass Sri Lankan singer / songwriter / rapper / musician / artist / activist known as M.I.A. Her real name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, and this deeply personal film takes us into her life, her childhood, her upbringing, and her story as she becomes famous around the world, and encounters resistance when she starts speaking out against issues that are dear to her. This premiered at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals this year, where I first saw it. I wrote in my glowing review: “this seems like a film that is another music documentary about a pop star and her rise to fame and fortune and glory. But it’s anything but that. It’s actually a much more personal, intimate story of a young woman who wants to bring attention to and raise awareness about very dire problems in the world, and injustices, and do so using the power of the microphone.” This is definitely a worth watching doc. ›››
