A large crowd of protesters surrounds an Immigration Enforcement van on Kenmure Street, with a line of police officers standing between the vehicle and demonstrators. Many people are sitting or standing close together, some holding signs, others filming with phones. A Palestinian flag is raised above the crowd, and nearby cars are blocked in as the protest fills the street.

Everbody to Kenmure Street

UK 2026 / Dir: Felipe Bustos Sierra / Documentary / English / 98 mins
Official Selection: Sundance Film Festival 2026

(BBFC Cert: 12A)

On 13 May 2021, the Home Office staged a dawn raid on Kenmure Street in Pollokshields. Glasgow-based documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra (director of Nae Pasaran!) takes us right down to street level to show what happened next in his immersive film. He recreates the spontaneous act of civil resistance that sprang up as the multicultural community came together on a shared mission to stop their neighbours’ deportation. Blending crowd-sourced footage with a clever re-enactment featuring verbatim testimony from those who were there, Sierra takes us inside the eight-hour stand-off that demonstrated the power of peaceful solidarity. Everybody to Kenmure Street recently won the Special Jury Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

“Viewers will leave the film feeling uplifted, with a renewed sense of possibility.” ★★★★★ Eye For Film

“Incredibly energising…Bustos Sierra carefully captures and pays tribute to everyday people coming together to put that power back where it belongs”- Variety

This screening is supported by Screen Scotland’s distribution fund.
