St Helens Refugee Community Film Festival - Everybody to Kenmure Street

On 13 May 2021, the Home Office staged a dawn raid on Kenmure Street in Pollokshields. Glasgow-based documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra (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.
