“This is what happened to a kid whose dad went off and became a terrorist.” Steve Loveridge just uploaded a trailer for his M.I.A. documentary that according to M.I.A. has been blacklisted. From his tumblr:

I get an email every few weeks from Rocnation or Interscope saying it’s all going to start up again, but then nothing.

This was a teaser from 2012 to show Interscope what the film would feel like.

Reblog the shit out of this and maybe they’ll wake up…

The controversial documentary explores the life and career of M.I.A. and her upbringing including thoughts on her terrorist father. It features thoughts from Spike Jonze, Kanye West and more.

M.I.A. had this to say on twitter:

im gonna need @kickstarter and my fans to help make this exsist , ive been black listed through normal channels !!!!!!!
