The film chronicles the true story of the May 2021 Kenmure Street Protest, when residents and campaigners rushed to block a UK Home Office deportation in progress in Glasgow’s most diverse neighbourhood. The eight-hour stand-off made international headlines as the community organised itself to buy time for more people to join their peaceful protest. Thanks to hours of footage from the day, the filmmakers recount the events of the day told from multiple perspectives. This film celebrates collective action, drawing on the stories that led to that day and the historic events that have shaped this community. An interesting addition to the film’s crew is Emma Thompson, who joined the creators as an Executive Producer. The film premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance. The film Everybody to Kenmure Street won the Special Jury Award in the World Cinema – Documentary section at the Sundance Film Festival 2026 (Park City, Utah, USA).
