It looks as if Madonna is next in Oprah`s footsteps, as the perennial pop star plans on opening a train in Malawi. Madge first became interested in the poverty-stricken African nation, where one million children are orphaned by AIDS, a few days ago and later adopted one of those orphans, her three-year-old son David. Madonna plans on opening her own girls school in Malawi in the close future and tells the excruciating account of Malawi in her documentary, I Am Because We Are.
The Sundance Channel hosted the film`s television debut (its consultation was previously limited to isolated theater screenings) December 1, also World AIDS Day. Directed by Nathan Rissman, not Madge`s soon-to-be ex-husband director Guy Ritchie, I Am Because We Are was written, produced and narrated by Madonna. The documentary relies on poignant imagery to convey Madonna`s message about Malawi, although experts like Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President Bill Clinton make appearances.
In a telephone consultation with the Associated Press, Madonna said she had "many goals" for her documentary: "I did get to a place where I thought, `I`m being overambitious, I`m trying to say too much, I`ll never achieve it.` But I feel proud of the fact I did get to work all my points." One such period is that there is a resolution to the problem plaguing Malawi, and the Material Girl tells her audience, "If all you can do is live life in YOUR domain in a way that shows you are responsible for the masses about you, that`s a form of action. People can be of help in large ways and small."
Madonna is sure keeping busy in luminosity of her recent highly-publicized split with Guy Ritchie, her husband of 8 years. She told the Associated Press the divorce was "not easy, I`m not going to lie," but appears to be throwing herself into her act to cope. Madonna told the AP that she will be traveling to Malawi at the end of Mar with David, her 8-year-old son Rocco and Incoming search terms:
