World AIDS Day: Madonna's "I Am Because We Are" Tonight on Sundance Channel

Today is World AIDS Day. Malawi, in Africa, one of the most impoverished African nations, over a million children have been orphaned by AIDS.

Malawi is the country where Madonna adopted a kid she named David.

Madonna was so affected by the tragic things she saw in Malawi that she wrote, produced and narrated a feature length documentary, directed by Nathan Rissman. The documentary is called I Am Because We Are.

Madonna consulted various experts who appear in the film, including Bill Clinton and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Up til tonight, I Am Because We Are has been seen in only a few theaters. But tonight the movie will have its TV premiere at 8pm on the Sundance Channel.

Madonna is also building a school in Malawi. Madonna reportedly spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Alex Rodriquez at her home in Miami. But she is back in New York City for World AIDS Day, where she will be doing multiple interviews, including interviewing prospects for the job of head mistresses for her Malawi school.

No reports on where Alex Rodriquez is today. I'd guess he is back in New York City.
