Turns out Madonna‘s documentary, I Am Because We Are, has made a big impact.
In fact, it’s going to be turned into a picture book!
The book is being described as a companion volume to the documentary film, written and produced by her Madgesty about the plight of orphans in Malawi, the country where she adopted son David.
The photographs will be supplied by Kristen Ashburn and the foreword will be written by Madonna.
A just released statement describes it as a “book of images by award-winning photojournalist Kristen Ashburn–culled from her own work in Malawi and Africa over the past seven years as well as from her specially commissioned photographs for the film–provides an intimate look at the lives of eight Malawian children featured in the film and reveals the harsh reality of the AIDS pandemic throughout southern Africa.”
The book will also feature excerpts from interviews with Malawian children along with their biographies.
The author proceeds from the sale of the books will be donated to the Raising Malawi organization, to continue to help their orphans.
