A new documentary titled Alicia in Africa: Journey to the Motherland is available in its entirety over at its official site (aliciainafrica.com), where you can stream it either fully or in separate chapters, or you can also download it there or at Spiralfrog. It features R&B star Alicia Keys as she visits Africa as a representative of the non-profit organization Keep a Child Alive, which provides medicine to sufferers of HIV/AIDS throughout the continent.

Basically, and unapologetically, the film is a lengthy advertisement for the charity, which is taking donations through the film’s website (here), but it is also an interesting and heartbreaking document of an under-covered issue. And, of course, it is for a good cause.

Also, yes, it features Keys singing. With African children. So, check it out. There are no obligations to give any money, and its certainly none of my business if you do or not.
