‘This Is America’, a confronting new video and song by Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) has stunned the world over the weekend as it clocked up over 10 million views.
The four-minute mini-movie targets a divided and broken nation and its issues with gun violence.
The graphic piece includes a hooded man shot point blank, a gospel choir being slaughtered by a semiautomatic rifle, a police car set alight and rioting while people dance.
Warning: This video contains graphic images:
Artists have been commenting on the Childish Gambino work:
I can't remember the last time I watched a music video all the way to the end, let alone one five times in a row. Incredible work! #ThisIsAmerica
