You may not like her songs. But you must admit that with this documentary she drew attention to a region of the world that needs help. In fact, it draws attention to what we are doing to the world....to ourselves.

While it does come off like an infomercial, and it's easy to deride Madonna for being who she is, how many other movies are there about this part of the world? How many Americans had even heard of Malawi before Madonna's adoption debacle? I can forgive everything else, even her pithy commentary, because she's calling attention to a region of the world that really needs some. 3.5 stars
