PRENSA OFICIAL DE “W.E”

 

ABBIE CORNISH, ANDREA RISEBOROUGH, JAMES D'ARCY, OSCAR ISAAC, RICHARD COYLE, JAMES FOX Y LAURENCE FOX SE UNEN A "W.E.".

 

El debut en la dirección de Madonna comenzará a realizar su fotografía principal el 5 de Julio.

Basada en un guión original, "W.E.", una película escrita por Madonna y Alek Keshishian, está lista para comenzar a rodarse este Verano en Europa (Reino Unido y Francia) y los EE.UU.

"W.E." cuenta dos historias de amor paralelas, separadas por más de seis décadas. La aclamada actriz Abbie Cornish (Sucker Punch, Bright Star, Elizabeth: La Edad de Oro) ha sido seleccionada para el papel de Wally Winthrop - una casada en el Nueva York de 1998 que está obsesionada con lo que ella percibe como la historia definitiva de amor, la abdicación del rey Eduardo VIII por su amor por Wallis Simpson. Andrea Riseborough ha sido seleccionada para el papel de Wallis Simpson. Riseborough es mejor conocida por su excelente interpretación, nominada a los premios Bafta, de Margaret Thatcher en el aclamado drama de la BBC "El largo camino hacia Finchley" y pronto se la verá en Brighton Rock. La estrella británica James D'Arcy (Master and Commander, Diario Secreto de una Prostituta) hará el papel de Eduardo VIII. El ruso Evgeni, el amor de Wally, será interpretado por la estrella en ascenso Oscar Isaac (Robin Hood, Sucker Punch) y su esposo William será interpretado por Richard Coyle (Prince of Persia: Las Arenas del Tiempo). El arte imita a la vida y tendremos a dos componente de la venerada dinastía de actores británicos Fox, padre e hijo, James Fox (Sherlock Holmes, Charlie y la Fábrica de Chocolate, Pasaje a la India, El Siervo) y Laurence Fox (Elizabeth: La Edad de Oro, La joven Jane Austen) en los papeles del rey Jorge V y su hijo, Bertie.

1936 Inglaterra - Wallis Simpson, una mujer americana, capturó el corazón del rey Eduardo VIII. Ya divorciada y casada con su segundo esposo cuando conoció a Eduardo, el entonces príncipe de Gales en Londres, los dos se enamoraron. Sin embargo, una vez coronado, Eduardo fué informado por la Iglesia y el Primer Ministro que no podía casarse con Wallis y seguir siendo el rey... Él abdicó, renunciando al trono para estar con la mujer que amaba. Una vez casados y conocidos como el duque y la duquesa de Windsor, vivieron lo que muchos consideran el romance del siglo.

1998 NY - Wally Winthrop tiene un pasado turbulento y se muda a Nueva York desde el sur para trabajar en el departamento de estado de Sotheby's. Ella deja su trabajo para casarse con un psiquiatra de éxito pero en el matrimonio es infeliz y se encuentra aburrida, frustrada y, a menudo, sola. Ella se refugia en su obsesión por la que cree ser la historia de amor definitiva, la abdicación del rey Eduardo VIII por su amor por Wallis Simpson. Cuando Wally descubre que habrá una subasta de bienes del duque y la duquesa de Windsor en Sotheby's, aprovecha la ocasión para volver a su coto de caza mayor para tratar de comprender la naturaleza de la gran historia de amor a través de los artefactos que pertenecieron a la pareja. Mientras está en Sotheby's, Wally conoce a Evgeni, un guardia de seguridad de Rusia con un pasado misterioso. A medida que se sumerge más profundamente en la historia de amor de Wallis y Eduardo, mientras que pasa más tiempo fuera de su matrimonio, se da cuenta de que se está enamorando.

Viajamos hacia atrás y adelante en el tiempo con Wally y Wallis, dos mujeres frágiles pero decididas, cuyas vidas se sienten íntimamente vinculadas. Sin embargo, como revela la historia, se pone de manifiesto que la vida de Wallis Simpson no era tan perfecta como Wally había pensado.

La película será producida por Colin Vaines (productor de Coriolanus, productor ejecutivo de London Boulevard, The Gangs of New York y The Young Victoria), con los productores ejecutivos Kris Thykier (productor de The Debt, Kick-Ass, Harry Brown, productor ejecutivo de Stardust) y Nigel Wooll (productor ejecutivo de Miss Potter, co-productor de GI Jane, White Squall). El equipo de producción incluye al diseñador de producción Martin Childs (ganador del Oscar por Shakespeare in Love, nominado al Oscar por Quills y The Boy in Striped Pyjamas), el director de fotografía Hagen Bogdanski (La vida de los otros, The Young Victoria), la diseñadora de vestuario Arianne Phillips (nominada al Oscar por En la cuerda floja, y al Bafta por A Single Man) y la diseñadora de peluquería y maquillaje Shircore Jenny (ganadora del Oscar por Elisabeth, ganadora del Bafta y nominada al Oscar por The Young Victoria).

VOGUE, VOGUE, VOGUE!

TODAVIA QUEDA MUCHO POR HACER

“EL SARAMPION PERSISTE A PESAR DE LOS GRANDES ESFUERZOS DE LA VACUNACION PUBLICA”

A pesar de las buenas noticias que reportamos desde Malawi y otras partes de África, debemos decir que aun queda mucho por hacer.

La semana pasada Thierry Durand, un director de operaciones de MEDICOS SIN FRONTERAS, estableció que “aun existen fallas en el sistema de la prevención contra el Sarampión” en África.

Lo que Durand establece se debe al hecho desafortunado de que la epidemia de sarampión persiste a pesar de los programas extensos de vacunación.

En los pasados seis meses, un brote de sarampión en Malawi mato a 82 habitantes, en su mayoría niños, he infecto a mas de 17.000. Cada caso de sarampión es completamente evitable.

Los esfuerzos están puestos en las zonas rurales para dar a conocer y promover la vacunación y tratamiento.

CARTA ABIERTA A MADONNA por CATHLEEN FALSANI, columnista.

 

Esta es una carta abierta dirigida a Madonna en agradecimiento por haber permitido ,luego de su lucha por la adopcion de Mercy,  que muchas otras puertas se abrieran para que otros padres puedan adoptar.

GRACIAS, DE MADRE A MADRE..

“Dear Madonna,

Thank you.

Earlier this week, after a month-long sojourn in Malawi, my family arrived home in California with our newly-adopted son, Vasco Fitzmaurice Mark David Possley.

His adoption would not have been possible without you and the bold actions you took in Malawi last year when its High Court denied you the adoption of your precious daughter, Chifundo "Mercy" James.

You didn't take no for an answer.

You didn't buy their argument that allowing your adoption of Mercy would encourage human trafficking. You didn't agree when they said Mercy would be fine at an orphanage and without a loving family from a foreign land.

When you appealed that myopic ruling and then won approval of Mercy's adoption from the Malawi court of appeals, you effectively made case law that kicked open the door for other American families to adopt some of the 1 million children orphaned by HIV, AIDS and other diseases (including a grotesque indifference to the suffering of the most vulnerable among us).

Your actions paved the way for families to be created across thousands of miles, through forests of diplomatic red tape and seemingly unbridgeable cultural chasms.

My husband and I met Vasco in October 2007 while we were traveling in Africa on holiday. A few years earlier, we had made a donation to an organization in Blantyre that works with some of the 60,000 children who live on the streets of Malawi -- the vast majority of them, as you are well aware, AIDS orphans.

We were on the ground in Malawi for about 48 hours and spent most of our first day visiting with a few dozen teenaged boys -- "street kids," in the parlance of Malawi -- at a drop-in center in Limbe.

On our way back to the motel in Blantyre, our guide asked if we would mind making one more stop to visit a street kid that, in his words, was "just kind of special."

We drove on the road to the airport to Blantyre's rural Chileka district, clambered down a muddy embankment and saw a clutch of mud-and-waddle huts. Our guide yelled something and we heard a squeaky boy's voice shout something back -- "I'm coming!" in Chichewa, his native language.

Out came this little fellow Vasco -- tiny, skinny -- maybe 35 pounds soaking wet -- with huge eyes and a smile that would split your heart in two. He was about eight years old but was the size of a five-year-old American child.

While we visited with Vasco, who had lived alone on the streets of Blantyre for months after his mother and father had died, he sat on my lap. When he pressed his bony back into my chest, his heart was beating so violently it was shaking his little body and moving mine. I took a good look at him and noticed that he was sweating and struggling to catch his breath even though he'd been sleeping when we arrived and not running or playing.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked.

"He has a hole in his heart," we were told.

With the time we had left in Malawi, my husband and I tried to get him medical attention, but there was none to be had. When we left to continue our holiday in East Africa (which we had won in a raffle -- no, really), we stopped to see Vasco one last time. We hugged him close, told him that we loved him, and then we climbed back into the van and headed to the airport.

As the plane took off and I looked down at the African city, I thought of the hundreds of times I'd taken off from American airports, and I knew that if Vasco were the poorest child in the U.S. -- even a homeless orphan -- he'd be in the hospital that night receiving the care he needed. I began to cry and then I began to wail, making a scene on the flight all the way back to Kenya.

My tears were fueled by righteous anger knowing that Vasco probably would die a sinfully early death because he was poor and African. That is the worst kind of injustice.

I felt impotent, helpless. Then I remembered something our family friend Bono had told me a few years earlier: "We can't do everything, Cathleen, but what we can do we must do."

I couldn't fix his heart myself, but I could tell his story.

When we returned to Chicago, where we lived at the time, I told Vasco's story in the pages of the Chicago Sun-Times, where I was a columnist. The piece ran on a Friday morning. By Saturday afternoon, three hospitals had offered to fix Vasco's heart for free if we could just get him to Chicago.

It took 18 months to get him to there, but on April 29, 2009, Vasco arrived in Chicago. Two weeks later, while we were in church on Mother's Day (because God has a sense of occasion, apparently) he spiked a fever. The next day, doctors determined that he was suffering from malaria.

The infection, we learned, has a two-week incubation period. Vasco had had malaria twice before in Malawi and it nearly killed him. If he had spiked the fever before he left Blantyre, he would not have been able to travel and we doubt he'd be alive today.

As Vasco recuperated from malaria and a host of other parasites he'd brought with him from Malawi, surgery was pushed back for more than a month. He was staying with us in our home outside Chicago and during that time, we got to know Vasco better. We saw the amazing person that he is -- incredibly bright and curious about the world, deeply intuitive and compassionate, soulful, grounded and so very funny.

We also learned more about what his life would be like once he returned to Malawi with his repaired heart.

That had always been the plan. Get him to Chicago, fix his heart, and send him home. It didn't matter that we had fallen in love with him, or that he could really use a family, parents, consistent love and security. International adoption, we were told, was all but impossible.

We prayed for an answer, an alternative, an escape plan and we waited, filled with equal parts hope and terror.

Vasco underwent successful open-heart surgery on June 10, 2009 at Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, just outside Chicago.

Two days later, as he was about to be moved out of intensive care and into a regular hospital room, we heard the news that the Malawi High Court of Appeal had overturned the lower court decision and approved your adoption of Mercy.

Legal precedent! Case law! A miracle!

A door swung open and a way had been made for us to become a legal family. It was a mitzvah created by many human (and divine) hands, including yours.

Shortly after Vasco was released from the hospital, we moved to Laguna Beach, California and began the process of adopting him. First we became his legal guardians in Malawi, then came months of bureaucratic paperwork on both sides of the world. We had a home study done, got fingerprinted by the FBI, collected recommendations from friends, family, our pastor, our rabbi. You know the drill.

Meanwhile, Vasco absolutely flourished. He's grown more than six inches and put on more than 30 pounds. He enrolled in school for the first time and excelled beyond anyone's expectations, learning English and how to read in record time, playing soccer on the town's championship team, learning to swim and ride a bike, to snow board, skate board and even to surf.

By early spring, everything was in place. We were just waiting for a court date in Malawi to make it legal.

Late last month, the three of us -- Vasco, my husband and I -- returned to Malawi for our adoption hearing. We prayed to God for favor and mercy and tried to not to panic.

Hearts in our throats, on June 1 we walked into the chambers of Judge John Chirwa at the High Court in Blantyre. The judge began reading his ruling and about half way through I began to cry tears of joy when Chirwa announced that he was legally bound by decision in the "Mercy James case" in making his ruling and, therefore, he approved our adoption.

Because of Mercy.

Because of you.

Vasco now has a forever family. I have a beautiful, healthy, happy son -- my first and only child. We are blessed and grateful beyond words. To God and to you.

The blessing you helped create will not stop with us. We tell Vasco's story to anyone who will listen, and we are creating a road map to guide other American families on their sacred journeys to adopt Malawian children who need them desperately.

From the bottom of this new mother's heart, thank you.

For your generosity of heart and spirit, as well as your perseverance, bravery and chutzpah -- just like the biblical Queen Esther whose name you've aptly taken as one of your own -- thank you.

You have been a mighty vessel of chisomo -- grace -- in our lives. And in my heart, you will always be Vasco's fairy godmother.

God bless you, Madonna.

Zikomo kwambiri, amai.”

 

NUEVOS DESCUBRIMIENTOS PROMETEDORES

 

Por Raising Malawi, 22/06/10

 

Dos nuevos estudios descubrieron que los antiretrovirales pueden eliminar en forma efectiva la transmisión MADRE a HIJO del virus HIV durante la lactancia.
Estas buenas noticias aseguran que la lactancia es una opcion para miles de madres portadoras del virus en Malawi y en otras partes de África.
De acuerdo con Roger Sapiro, autor del estudio que se realizo en Harvard's School of Public Health:

 

"Lo que descubrimos es que cuando comenzamos con los tratamientos durante el embarazo, durante el tercer trimestre de embarazo, y continuamos con ellos durante los seis meses posteriores de lactancia,  tuvimos muy bajos porcentajes de transmisión de HIV de madre a hijo."

 

Estos resultados alentadores destacan la importancia de encontrar, testear y tratar a las mujeres embarazadas con HIV.

 

LA SOLUCION:

 

-Construir nuevos centros de salud en áreas que lo necesitan.
- Apoyar a los hospitales .
-Crear programas educacionales sobre HIV y como prevenirlo.
-Proveer tratamientos antiretrovirales y otras drogas necesarias.
