Is it a compliment when Michael Moore likes your movie? Kind of, I guess. The documentary maker praised Madonna's 'I Am Because We Are' for its passionate and personal story. "She's sort of entered my realm. When I saw it, I thought, wow, it's like she's been making these films for years," Moore said. "She takes the viewer through a very personal journey and tries to connect us, living here in the U.S., giving us a window into the way it is for other people in the world. You're extremely moved when you watch it. You understand very clearly why she's devoted so much of her life to the people of Malawi."
Madonna's movie will be shown at the Traverse City Film Festival, co-founded by Michael Moore. "The film is a labor of love and I am happy that I can bring it home to my roots with the help of Michael," Madonna said. "I am also honored that the film will be screening at this particular festival arranged by Michael as he is a genius and I am a huge fan."
The Traverse City Film Festival will be held from July 29 until August 3.
