Madonna is set to make a movie about the plight of orphans in Malawi, which aims to put the spotlight on the country's suffering.
The singer hopes that the film, which has the working title Raising Malawi after the eponymous charity she founded, will raise the public's awareness about the Aids-ridden country.
Footage of Madge's adoption of orphaned baby David Banda will feature in the movie, which started out as a documentary.
It will publicise her Kabbalah beliefs and also show footage of her interviewing her hero Nelson Mandela.
A family friend said that Madonna had poured her heart and soul into the movie and believed it could have a similar effect on the world as the Live Aid concerts did in the 1980s.
The friend said Madonna wanted to dedicate the rest of her life to helping children and wanted to become the female Bono, putting the final nail in the coffin of her Material Girl days.
Most of the scenes will be filmed on Madonna's current trip to the African country.
