It's 25 years now since Madonna's Like A Prayer music video debuted. The video premiered exclusively on MTV USA on Friday March 3rd 1989, one day after Madonna's Pepsi ad aired and immediately caused an international stir.
In 2007 a US TV documentary looked back at this most controversial of music videos, featuring original contributions by the video's director Mary Lambert, its producer Sharon Oreck, Madonna's co-star in the clip Leon Robinson, Pepsi ad director Joe Pytka and many others.
