About

A documentary about a 2021 immigration raid in Glasgow, where hundreds of residents gather in Kenmure Street to stop two neighbours from being taken away.

Everybody to Kenmure Street is a documentary by Felipe Bustos Sierra about a Home Office immigration raid in Glasgow in May 2021. At dawn on Eid al-Fitr, immigration officers pick up two residents in Pollokshields, the most culturally diverse neighbourhood in Scotland. Hundreds of local people leave what they are doing and gather in Kenmure Street, forming a cordon around the detention van to stop the two men from being taken away. A resident crawls underneath the van so that it cannot drive off. In dramatised scenes, Emma Thompson plays the Van Guy, the man under the bus, and Kate Dickie plays a nurse.
