La rappeuse Mathangi « Maya » Arulpragasam, plus connue sous son nom de M.I.A, a dévoilé son nouveau clip en s’attaquant sur la crise des réfugiés, une vidéo illustrée avec des images frappantes.
Dans Borders, l’artiste dénonce l’attitude de l’Europe envers les migrants qui échappent à la situation horrible dans leur pays.
A noter la petite pique de M.I.A où la chanteuse apparaît avec un maillot du PSG légèrement modifié. En effet, au lieu de « Fly Emirates » (sponsor de l’équipe de football), on peut lire tout simplement Fly Pirates.
