Madonna Presents Malawi Documentary

The Queen of Pop has returned to her home state of Michigan to present
her documentary about Malawi orphans to the Traverse City film festival.



Madonna, who was born in Bay City in 1958, was met at the screening of
I Am Because We Are by documentary director and fellow Michigan native,
Michael Moore.



The director of Bowling for Columbine co-founded the film festival in 2005.



Madonna told reporters at the release of her documentary that it was "great bringing my movie to a place that I feel familiar".



Madonna was accompanied by her daughter Lourdes, 11, and the documentary's director, Nathan Rissman.



She said the film festival in Traverse City in northern Michigan was
better than the Cannes Film Festival, "where nobody's speaking
English".
