TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - One-time talk-show host Phil Donahue is expected to present his Iraq war documentary ``Body of War'' at the Traverse City Film Festival.

Filmmaker and festival founder Michael Moore tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle for a Friday story that the film following a paralyzed Iraq war veteran upon his return to the United States is a ``very powerful story.''

Donahue, who is executive producer and co-director of the film, also is expected to participate in a panel discussion with Moore during the festival.

Moore in May announced that Madonna will appear for a screening of ``I Am Because We Are,''  her film on the impoverished nation of Malawi, during the festival in the northern Michigan resort town.

The festival runs July 29 to Aug. 3.
