⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Morale-boosting” – The Guardian 

After winning the Special Jury Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and going down a storm at Glasgow Film Festival’s sold-out Opening Gala, Everybody to Kenmure Street returns to GFT this Friday.

On 13 May 2021, the Home Office staged a dawn raid on Kenmure Street in Pollokshields. In this immersive new film, Glasgow-based documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra (Nae Pasaran) brings us down to street level to witness what happened next.

As news of the raid spread, the local multicultural community came together in a spontaneous act of civil resistance, determined to stop their neighbours’ deportation. Blending crowd-sourced footage with carefully staged re-enactments featuring verbatim testimony from those who were there and voiced by Emma Thompson, the film reconstructs the remarkable eight-hour stand-off that followed — a powerful demonstration of peaceful solidarity.
