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
