Madonna Is Because We Are

Madonna arrives and greets filmmaker Michael Moore at a screening of her new film, I Am Because We Are at the Traverse City Film Festival on Saturday in Traverse City, Michigan.

This movie documents the concern over the millions of orphans in the African country of Malawi who have lost parents and siblings to HIV and AIDS, many of whom live on the streets. The film also shows the efforts with Madonna’s charitable organisation Raising Malawi in helping with improving their lives and conditions.

I Am Because We Are is narrated and produced by Madonna.

“Ubuntu” is an idea present in African spirituality that says “I am because we are,” that we are all connected and we cannot be ourselves without community.
