Madonna Takes Documentary to Her Home Town

Madonna is back in the news. No divorce rumors, no extra marital affairs, no talking about her brother’s book. This time we see a generous Madonna who goes back to her home town in order to introduce her documentary about orphans in Malawi.

According to E! Online, the 49-year-old singer came back to Michigan Saturday to share her documentary called “I Am Because We Are” at the Traverse City Film Festival. She very much enjoyed the visit, saying that it was great to bring her movie to a familiar place.

“It's great bringing my movie to a place that I feel familiar,” said Madonna, adding that this festival was different from the Cannes Festival or the Tribeca Film Festival. The pop icon remembered fondly of camping trips and holidays, that always used to bring her back home.

“There's something poetic about coming back to the place where I used to come for holidays—camping trips with my dad and stepmother and my very large family,” said Madonna, according to E! Online.

The Traverse City Film Festival hosted independent films and it was cofounded by Michael Moore, also from Michigan. He spoke highly of Madonna.

“She has such an incredible heart and such a generous spirit. She does so much out of the glare of the lights to make the world a better place.”

Madonna produced, wrote and narrated the documentary “I Am Because We Are,” a film which describes the problem of the orphans from Malawi, the country where the singer and her husband Guy Ritchie adopted a boy David.

Madonna, who was born in Bay City in 1958, was accompanied by her daughter Lourdes, 11, and the film’s director Nathan Rissman. Also present were Madonna’s father Silvio Ciccone and stepmother Joan. Her husband Guy Ritchie was not with her.
