As part of the British Film Days, we invite high school and university students to a free film screening on March 20 at 10:00 and 13:00 at Puskin Cinema.
About the film:
Felipe Bustos Sierra: Everybody to Kenmure Street (2026, UK)
Everybody to Kenmure Street is an urgent and uplifting documentary about the power of community in the face of state authority. What begins as a local incident on a single street unfolds into a universal story of civil resistance. In May 2021, on Kenmure Street in the Pollokshields district of Glasgow, local residents spontaneously blocked an immigration enforcement operation when police attempted to detain and deport two Sikh men from the neighbourhood. Filmed with a kinetic, ground-level immediacy, the documentary draws on mobile phone footage, first-hand testimonies, interviews and archival material to reconstruct the day’s events. At once inspiring and politically resonant, Everybody to Kenmure Street demonstrates how a diverse urban community can mobilise spontaneously in defence of human dignity, and how collective action can shift not only a single outcome, but the moral conversation of a nation.
After the screening, there will be a Q&A with the director (in English) about the film and the issues it raises.
Film length: 95 minutes, the post-screening discussion: approximately 30 minutes
The film will be in English with Hungarian subtitles. Watch the trailer here
