Synopsis

Glasgow residents abandon their daily routines to gather on Kenmure Street after learning authorities plan to deport their neighbors, sparking an impromptu grassroots movement.
Moviegoers are saying
Audiences treat this Sundance 2026 documentary as a tear-jerking shot of hope, with reviewers praising how the 2021 Kenmure Street protest in Glasgow turned a stalled van into a crowd of thousands. Viewers singled out the archival footage and the way the film ties Glasgow's history of protest and its slave-trade past to the present, though several admitted the emotional pull feels deliberate. Most came away saying they felt a little more hope for the world, which for a film about a dawn raid is a notable achievement.

    EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET couldn’t have arrived at a more ideal and horrifying time. It’s an invigorating reminder of what collective action can achieve. Watching ordinary neighbors in Glasgow organize in real time to protect their own is both thrilling, emotional, and…

    Sundance 2026 - #1"No justice, no peace! No racist police!"In a world where there's a significant rapid rise of far-right anti-immigration sentiments all over the world, it's quite healing to see so much solidarity from a community to protect their own neighbours from…

    I thought this film was great. Reminded me of a more hopeful version of WTO/99 in terms of how much archival footage of the event was incorporated. Having Emma Thompson and Katie Dickie play the two people who wanted to remain anonymous was very creative. The way the…

    had tears in my eyes the entire time. really interesting framing of glasgow as a city so often at the forefront of protest, resistance, anti-racism etc. almost as a form of reparation for its role in britain’s imperialist history. and it makes a point to really emphasise…

Everybody to Kenmure Street is an exceptional documentary, both in the story it tells and in the way it tells it, about what happened that day.

We don’t hear from law enforcement as to why the raid happened in the manner it did, and why it ended in a humiliating capitulation. Yet there’s definitely a rousing prescience to a film like this at such a politically precarious moment, and perhaps we should take this rare happy ending with a pinch of salt.
