Sierra comes <b><i>Everybody to Kenmure Street</i></b>, a multifaceted picture
of one of the most memorable moments in Glasgow’s recent history.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
As word spread, a handful of protestors
quickly grew to a crowd of hundreds, flooding Kenmure Street and
completely blocking an immigration enforcement van.<br>
<br>
The eight-hour stand-off made international headlines as the community
organised itself in an extraordinary act of peaceful solidarity.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Everybody to Kenmure Street</i></b> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>DocumentaryPT1H35M2026-10-30enFelipe Bustos Sierra
