Can I Go Home Now?

Synopsis

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 witnesses their experiences, fears, and hopes in a war zone. Despite their circumstances, they dream and hope for a better future. The film is a lesson in courage about the impact of wars on children worldwide 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.

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
