MADONNA I AM BECAUSE WE ARE // TRIBECA FESTIVAL

Madonna wrote and produced a documentary about orphans in Malawi, entitled I Am Because We Are which is one of the favorites at Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary highlighting the plight of Malawi's estimated one million Aids orphans. "We are responsible for each other and that if we can help in any way, shape or form, we should," The documentary includes some excruciating scenes showing the agonising grief of a mother who has just lost her child to Aids.

"The idea was not just to shock audiences. In the beginning I wasn't in the movie at all, but then I realised because I was narrating that it was important that I let people know that it was my personal journey and my experience." source

My personal journey brought me to Africa, the things I've seen, the people I have met, changed my life. And what I have seen so far of Madonna's documentary is just incredible and really powerful.

If she would donate just a tiny portion of her cosmetic surgery/enhancement budget to Malawi, that would be great.

Madonna can achieve so much more than merely contributing her cosmetic surgery money 'M'. Raising awareness and making people conscious of this global epidemic is at its core: POWERFUL!
Well done Madonna!
