★★★★ “community triumphs in inspiring retelling of 2021 Glasgow protest. Emma Thompson voices the anonymous ‘Van Man’ in a documentary about local people standing their ground against heavy-handed immigration enforcement.” The Guardian 

In May 2021, a UK Home Office dawn raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Pollokshields, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood, hundreds of residents rush to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours.

Winner: Sundance World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance

Neighbours and activists rush to surround an immigration van detaining two residents in Scotland’s most diverse community. Everybody to Kenmure Street is an intense, ground-level, and ultimately joyous account of the standoff with the police and the UK Home Office. The  film celebrates collective action, looking to the stories that led to that day and the historic events that have shaped this community.

Option to pay-as-you-feel on the day or usual ticket prices
