Madonna enters Moore’s realm

Madonna’s new film on the impoverished nation of Malawi has wowed another maker of documentaries: Michael Moore.

Moore says that Madonna, like himself a Michigan native, will appear for a screening of “I Am Because We Are” during the state’s Traverse City Film Festival on Aug. 2. Moore helped establish the festival in 2005.

“She’s sort of entered my realm,” Moore said. “When I saw it, I thought, ‘Wow, it’s like she’s been making these films for years.’ ”
