Sunday, May 3, 5:30 PM Saturday, May 16, 6:00 PM The May 16 screening will be followed by a post-film conversation with Nancy Hunter and Sara Farias! Felipe Bustos Sierra | Scotland | 2026 | 99m The May 16 screening will be followed by a post-film conversation with Nancy Hunter and Sara Farias! Nancy Hunter (she/her) is a long-time local activist and member of the organisations The Many vs The Money , Community Not Cops Kjipuktuk , and Shoulder to Shoulder - We Are All Treaty People . Sara Farias (they/them) is an advocate with over 20 years of experience across Brazil and Canada. In Brazil, their work focused on housing justice and advancing equity for Black communities, youth, Indigenous peoples, and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. In Canada, their advocacy centers on cycling, housing justice, and food insecurity. 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 Winner: World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance-Sundance Film Festival, 2025 Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available) Sunday, May 3, 5:30 PM tickets Saturday, May 16, 6:00 PM tickets Tagged coming soon
