Felipe Bustos Sierra | Scotland | 2026 | 99m

A dawn deportation raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. On a quiet May morning in the most diverse neighbourhood in Scotland, neighbours and activists rushed to surround an immigration van, one even crawling underneath to stop it from moving.

Compiled from camera phone footage and eyewitness testimony, this spirited documentary is an electrifying blow-by blow account of the ensuing standoff with the police and the UK Home Office. Everybody to Kenmure Street reaches farther than this singular collective action, looking to the stories that led to the day and the historic events that have shaped the community.

“The rough-and-ready aesthetic of this account of a grassroots act of resistance belies the film’s dexterous editing and elegant interweaving of social history and ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy. Essential viewing.” - Wendy Ide, The Observer

“In the age of ICE and Maga, and the Trump-inspired nationalist movements in the UK, it’s an amazing story of a community triumph.” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“Everybody to Kenmure Street captures the spectrum of solidarity — some are journalists and lawyers responding to a serious situation, or students who find the injustice of their social media feed materializing in front of them.“ - Rory Doherty, In Review Online
