Everybody to Kenmure Street | Arthouse Now

The first day of Eid in Glasgow started as any other. But soon, neighbors heard through community message networks that two local men were snatched up for deportation, and suddenly hundreds of people left their breakfast tables, work Zoom calls, and daily lives to rush down to Kenmure Street to save them by putting their bodies on the line. Though mostly strangers, and with almost no planning, this extremely diverse group organized themselves, taking on essential roles to allow the collective to protect their own from government forces targeting their least protected neighbors. An inspiring and profoundly moving portrait of what we all are capable of in the face of injustice, Everybody to Kenmure Street reminds us of the power that is always inherent in the people. Winner, World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance, Sundance Film Festival 2026. [95 min; documentary; English]
