A charity film
The People’s Film. For Every Child in Every Country.
The film THEY want to ban and block. The film THEY don't want you to see!
Donate and join the movement to help release our film Can I Go Home Now? - an independent charity film where only children speak. No adults. No politicians. Made in collaboration with Oscar and Grammy-winning artists, the film is fully complete. Your donation pays for the global release, distribution, publicity, marketing and educational screenings—bringing the film to cinemas, schools and universities. This film touring the world can do more for children than political leaders touring the world. But releasing it worldwide is expensive. That is why we need you. Humanitarian director Pritan Ambroase risked his life in active war zones in Ukraine to give these children a voice. Now, governments and political leaders are trying to block the film’s release. His property has been attacked, and he continues to receive death threats intended to stop him. Why release it ourselves? Distributors have asked us to change the film—to add adult voices, including the presidents of the USA, Ukraine and Russia, to make it more commercial. The director refuses. He risked his life so the children could speak for themselves. He will not let their voices be overshadowed. Donate to help release it. Be part of history. This is the people’s film. The people’s movement. For every child in every country.

They are trying to stop the film from releasing. Let us, the people, answer them by showing it everywhere. For every child in every country, let us make the answer yes. We are all a part of the film and the movement.

We funded the making and completion of the film
Humanitarian director Pritan Ambroase personally funded 80% of the film. Family and friends contributed the remaining 20%, bringing it to completion. They did this for a non-profit charity film, driven by one purpose: to give children a voice.
The production employed 250 Ukrainians, and every one of them was paid for their work, providing income during wartime. Ambroase was the only unpaid member of the production, receiving no payment for his work as director or producer.
Humans of Our World Foundation takes no profit and retains no portion of donations for its own overhead. Donations fund the film’s release and the campaign costs detailed below.

In their own words
“We were promised we were going to a camp like the Bahamas. My Mum came to pick me up, but she was late. The gates were closed … we were put on a ship.”
Vitaly, 16
“You could hear five-year-old kids constantly crying, begging to go home. I tried to hide my tears. I thought I would never go back home.”
Vitaly, 16
“I woke up in a pit. I couldn’t move at all as I was under the concrete slabs. I didn’t have enough air. I was covered with rubble.”
Sofia, 11
“When I grow up, I want to be a gymnastics coach and go to the Olympic Games. I would say: stop shooting. We didn’t do anything bad to you.”
Sasha, 6
Testimonies as published in The Independent, 31 July 2026. The film itself contains no adult voices. Focusing on the voices of the children, Mark Hollingsworth wrote, “brings its own power.”
Strength in numbers
Death threats. Attacks on the director’s property. His companies hacked. A break-in in London.
All the director set out to do was give children a voice. Now he lives in fear while working to release this film to the world.
He risked his life by entering active war zones to make the film. With the threats and attacks continuing, he is risking his life again by releasing it. He will not give up. But he should not have to carry this alone.
There is strength in numbers. Every person who donates, shares the campaign or helps organise a screening adds strength to the movement. Together, we can bring the film to cities, communities and institutions around the world.
“It’s enough now. You can stop shooting.” — a child in the film
Stand with the children. Stand with the director. Let us make the answer yes.
