From Executive Producer Emma Thompson and BAFTA-winning director Felipe Bustos Sierra comes Everybody to Kenmure Street, a multifaceted picture of one of the most memorable moments in Glasgow’s recent history.

On May 13, 2021, UK Home Office immigration enforcement launched a dawn raid in Pollokshields, one of Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhoods. Local residents rushed to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours.

As word spread, a handful of protestors quickly grew to a crowd of hundreds, flooding Kenmure Street and completely blocking an immigration enforcement van.

The eight-hour stand-off made international headlines as the community organised itself in an extraordinary act of peaceful solidarity.

Everybody to Kenmure Street uses a combination of crowd-sourced footage from the day, archive film and dramatic re-enactments to examine the power of grassroots collective action, solidarity, and empathy in confronting state authority.
