Born Free

Born Free is a 1966 British drama film starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers as Joy and George Adamson, a real-life couple who raised Elsa the Lioness, an orphaned lion cub, to adulthood, and released her into the wilderness of Kenya. The movie was produced by Open Road Films Ltd. and Columbia Pictures. The screenplay, written by blacklisted Hollywood writer Lester Cole (under the pseudonym "Gerald L.C. Copley"), was based upon Joy Adamson's 1960 non-fiction book Born Free. The film was directed by James Hill and produced by Sam Jaffe and Paul Radin. Born Free, and its musical score by John Barry, won numerous awards.

Plot

When George Adamson is forced to kill a lioness out of self-defense, he brings home the 3 orphaned cubs she had been trying to protect. The Adamsons tend to the three orphaned lion cubs to young lionhood, and, when the time comes, the two largest are sent to the Rotterdam Zoo, while Elsa the Lioness (the smallest of the litter) remains with Joy. When Elsa is held responsible for stampeding a herd of elephants through a village, John Kendall, Adamson's boss gives the couple three months to either rehabilitate Elsa to the wild, or send her to a zoo. Joy opposes sending Elsa to a zoo, and spends much time attempting to re-introduce Elsa to the life of a wild lion in a distant reserve. At last, Joy succeeds, and with mixed feelings and a breaking heart, she returns her friend to the wild. The Adamsons then depart for their home in England; a year later, they return to Kenya for a week, hoping to find Elsa. They do, and happily discover she hasn't forgotten them, and is the mother of three cubs.

Born Free (M.I.A. song)

"Born Free" is a song by recording artist M.I.A., released alongside an accompanying short film/music video of the same name from her third album, Maya. XL Recordings and Interscope Records/N.E.E.T. released "Born Free" as a digital download from the album on 23 April 2010, with the music video released on 26 April 2010. "Born Free" was composed by Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Dave "Switch" Taylor, Alan Vega and Martin Rev, with production by M.I.A. and Switch. The artwork for the single was released on 25 April 2010.

"Born Free" was her next release following the track "O...Saya" from the film Slumdog Millionaire and the birth of her son in 2009. The song is a guitar and drum driven track that incorporates electronica, alternative hip hop and horrorcore, and is considered more aggressive than the other songs of the album. High Contrast provided an official remix to the song. The song was praised for its lyrics and composition as statement-making and provocatively complimentary to the artist's intentions for the piece, its artwork and accompanying video.

Born Free (Humble Gods album)

Born Free is the third studio album from the California based punk rock band Humble Gods, and released on January 6, 2004, on Suburban Noize Records.

    Born Free

    by: Kid Rock

    Fast on a rough road riding
    High through the mountains climbing
    Twistin', turnin', further from my home
    Young like a new moon rising
    Fierce through the rain and lightning
    Wandering out into this great unknown
    And I don't want no one to cry
    But tell 'em if I don't survive
    I was born free
    I was born free
    I was born free
    Born free
    Free like a river raging
    Strong as the wind I'm facing
    Chasing dreams and racing Father Time
    Deep like the grandest canyon
    Wild like an untamed stallion
    If you can't see my heart, you must be blind
    You can knock me down and watch me bleed
    But you can't keep no chains on me
    I was born free
    I was born free
    I was born free
    Born free
    Calm, facin' danger
    Lost, like an unknown stranger
    Grateful for my time with no regrets
    Close to my destination
    Tired, frail and aching
    Waiting patiently for the sun to set
    And when it's done, believe that I
    Will yell it from that mountain high
    I was born free
    I was born free
    I was born free
    Born free
    And I will bow to the shining sea
    And celebrate God's grace on thee
    I was born free
    I was born free
    I was born free
