Madonna will return to Michigan with documentary

Madonna is set to return to Michigan, the state in which she grew up, to screen her Malawian documentary �??I Am Because We Are�??.

The documentary was screened during the Cannes Film Festival last week to a packed audience, and Madge herself was in attendance to promote the project.

As previously reported, during an interview with ABC�??s �??Nightline�??, Madonna discussed the movie and the making of her new album �??Hard Candy�?? during which she revealed that producer Pharrell Williams made her cry during one particular recording session.

�??I Am Because We Are�?? will be screened during Michael Moore�??s Traverse Film Festival on August 2, and the Material Girl herself will be there to present the flick.

�??I saw her film a month ago and was so deeply moved in a way that rarely happens with movies these days,�?� Moore told Variety. �??I asked her immediately if she would come to our festival, and she said yes. Her presence here in Traverse City will have a profound impact on people.�?�
