This weekend the Sundance award-winning documentary, Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. opens and the Showcase Cinema at West Quay has screenings on Friday and Sunday (28 and 30 September).  We understand that if  you quote 'Birds Eye View' when booking at the Cinema a discount will be applied to the ticket price.  This offer is subject to availability and isn't available for pre-booking.

Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge has chronicled the remarkable journey of critically-acclaimed artist, M.I.A. – from refugee immigrant to pop star.  Described by Sight & Sound as "a vibrant and valuable study that gets satisfyingly under the skin of the refugee turned pop star," Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. details life as Matangi, daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka's Tamil resistance; Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London, and M.I.A., one of the most recognisable, outspoken and provocative voices in music today.
