Haley and Madonna - Promo

A promotional video for a Tim Nagae's TV documentary, "Haley and Madonna."

"Haley and Madonna" depicts a young individual, Haley, a 13 year-old-girl with cerebral palsy, who is enthusiastic for the Miss America Pageant and sings "Don't Laugh at Me" at local pageants. She befriends with Madonna, a Miss America contestant and dancer, and they perform together on stage; Haley sings and Madonna dances with her choreography. Their performance brings tears to the eyes of the audience.

"Haley and Madonna" is a touching story, which was shown at 5 film festivals, won several film and video awards including an EMMY and the 2004 Accolade Award - Best of Show www.theaccolade.net and was broadcast nationally on PBS. It was also awarded with Pegasus Award of Excellence, Category Award from 2004 Thunderbird Film Festival in Cedar City, Utah and Audience Choice Award from 2004 DADA Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina.
