Check Out The Trailer and Poster For M.I.A. documentary

Here’s a first look at the official trailer and poster for the upcoming documentary, Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. Directed by Steve Loveridge, Abramorama will release the documentary in theaters September 28th.

Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. provides a never-before-seen look into the life and career of artist and musician, M.I.A., complete with rare archival footage from her childhood in Sri Lanka, and personal video journals spanning decades.

Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge’s MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. is a startlingly personal profile of the critically acclaimed artist, chronicling her remarkable journey from refugee immigrant to pop star. She began as Matangi. Daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka’s armed Tamil resistance, she hid from the government in the face of a vicious and bloody civil war. When her family fled to the UK, she became Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London.

Finally, the world met her as M.I.A. when she emerged on the global stage, having created a mashup, cut-and-paste identity that pulled from every corner of her journey along the way. Never one to compromise on her vision, Maya kept her camera rolling throughout. MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. provides unparalleled, 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 recognizable, outspoken and provocative voices in music today.
