Can I Go Home Now


One of Bruno Chatelin's curated BEST FOR FESTS. It received the movie that matters Award in Cannes 23 based on a first cut.

 

A film by Pritan Ambroase, 2024 1hour 42 minutes

This is more than a film, it is a cry of revolution from Children all around the world who continue to ask "Can I Go Home Now?" while being terrorized by wars. Filmed in the current war zone of Ukraine as missiles flew overhead, 'Can I Go Home Now?' is a heartbreaking, moving, and powerful documentary film that gives a voice to Children suffering from ongoing horrific wars. No adults are allowed to speak in this film. Rarely do Children get to have a say in a war fought by adults, and this film gives the Children a voice and a chance to speak up as they tell the story of this war in their own words. The film bears witness to their experiences, fears and hopes in a war zone. Despite their circumstances, they continue to dream and hope for a better future. The film is a lesson in courage about the impact of wars on Children all over the world and a testament to human resilience. This film is a testament to the fact that wars that affect Children cannot be allowed to happen anymore, anwhere in the world.

Pritan Ambroase bio

Pritan Ambroase, originally from Kent in England, has been nicknamed the ‘Rebel with A Cause’ as he is one of the few CEOs who has physically protested on foot for human rights in more than 35 countries and is globally praised for combining entertainment, philanthropy, and education to further humanitarianism and unite people worldwide. Ambroase is a film director, producer, media entrepreneur, and philanthropist who actively participates in human rights activism across all borders. In 2023, he visited the war zone of Ukraine multiple times and directed the film “Can I Go Home Now?” to give voice to the children affected by ongoing war, cruel violence, and complete devastation. Multiple Oscar winners like A. R. Rahman are part of the film, which is to be released in 2024. Ambroase is a regular on red carpets worldwide and is the recipient of the “Movie That Matters” Award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.


From a very young age, Ambroase recognized the power of entertainment, education, and philanthropy and has made it his life's mission to combine these components.
He is the CEO/Editor-in-Chief of The Hollywood Insider media network and the founder of the Humans of Our World Foundation. Under his leadership, The Hollywood Insider media network has transformed into what it is today - a media network that has fully banned gossip and scandal. The re-engineered Hollywood Insider, with his guidance, focuses on substance and meaningful entertainment, aiming to use media as a tool to unite and better our world. It combines entertainment, education, and philanthropy while being against gossip and scandal and caters equally to the masses and individuals/small communities alike, telling global stories from its own local perspective. Media is a tool that can positively affect everyone, and it is with that intention that Hollywood Insider's value sets have been written (https://www.hollywoodinsider.com/our-values/).


Ambroase is also the President of 'The Masters of Cinema Awards', which recognizes excellence and extraordinary contribution to cinema in many categories. The goal of the awards ceremony is to recognize extraordinary talent without the influence of campaigning and politics. Past winners include French director Olivier Dahan of the Marion Cotillard-starring film 'La Vie en Rose' and Tamil director Mani Ratnam of 'Dil Se', which featured music by two-time Oscar-winning A. R. Rahman.
Alongside his career in entertainment and media, Ambroase continues to be a passionate humanitarian and a constant human rights activist/advocate. At the age of 18, he started the philanthropic organization named "Humans of Our World Foundation" (https://www.humansofourworld.org/), which has helped people and causes in need in over 190 countries worldwide. He chose this specific name as he wanted humans globally to unite regardless of mental, political, or physical borders. His foundation's official supporters include heavyweights such as Oscar Winner Dame Judi Dench, Oscar Winner Adrien Brody, Joanna Lumley OBE, Amanda Holden, Bear Grylls, Andy Serkis, etc. The foundation actively supports over 32 causes.


His diverse upbringing shaped the values he possesses. He was 4 years old when he first enrolled in elite boarding schools and by the time he graduated from 12th grade (High School/Secondary School), he had attended 11 different schools, of which 6 were boarding schools, in seven different countries and three different continents. This exposed him to a plethora of languages, cultures, religions, lifestyles, and perspectives. He credits his humanitarian values to his diverse schooling and global upbringing, which immersed him in various cultures, languages, religions, lifestyles, and perspectives. According to him, this has left him with no choice but to unite humans all over the world, as there are more similarities than differences among cultures.


Ambroase began public speaking at the young age of 8, and by 14, he was acting as Master Of Ceremonies for events hosted by the leader of the Conservative Party, Lord Michael Howard, in the United Kingdom. After garnering multiple awards for acting and writing plays for the stage as well as radio, he was discovered by his talent agent. A radio play written by Ambroase on the life of Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas A Becket, won the Best Radio Play award, in which he also voiced the lead role of Becket.
In theatre, Pritan won accolades and received multiple standing ovations for playing complex lead roles in the dramatic genre. His first audition landed him a starring role in a primetime series after impressing the director who thought he was a veteran. After his first TV show, he went back to complete high school as education was important to him. In 2005, Pritan completed his second script at 17 years old, having written his first script at 12. At 19, he became the youngest person in England to be funded to direct his first film. With support from National Lottery programs such as Unltd and Big Boost, he directed his first film, acting as both the lead and director with an international cast and crew. Pritan's performance as a blind teenager won accolades, and the film was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival 2007 and the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2007. For his first film, Pritan also hired local underprivileged youths to work on the film in various crew roles, helping them gain industry experience.


Ambroase continues his passion for cinema, entertainment, and media, utilizing his media network, Hollywood Insider, to focus on substantive and meaningful matters. He remarks, "When artists, cinema, media, positive intention, and humanitarianism combine into one, it creates a beautiful symphony of love, loyalty, and unity which vibrates across the highest walls."
