I Am Because We Are is documentary exploring the effects of the AIDS epidemic on children in the African country of Malawi. The film is produced by Madonna who also narrates the piece. While the film ran in several festivals, its television debut is scheduled for World AIDS Day (December 1, 2008) on the Sundance Channel. A companion photo book with the same title is set for release in January 2009. In 2006, Madonna and Guy Ritchie adopted a son named David Banda from the same Malawi.
