Everybody to Kenmure Street
Celtic Junction Arts Center (CJAC) is proud to co-present three exceptional Celtic films at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF45). Films take place at the Main Cinema in Minneapolis. Everybody to Kenmure Street is directed by Felipe Bustos Sierra- who will be in attendance- and runs 98 minutes. This is an MSPIFF Opening Film.
In May 2021, in Glasgow, on the first morning of Eid, Scottish immigration enforcement detained two men in the largely Muslim neighborhood of Pollokshields. Through an incredible communication network in the city, neighbors and concerned residents flood Kenmure Street to surround the vehicle and face off against authoritarianism. One protester even crawled beneath the detaining vehicle to prevent it from departing, and remained there for over 8 hours. Over 2,000 people showed up over the course of the day to record and disrupt the proceedings, sending a message to the very conservative U.K. Home Office. A stark reminder of the horrors that a government can inflict on the most vulnerable and an uplifting look at exactly what people can do to stop it, Everybody to Kenmure Street is a stunning documentary, not without humor, in the great tradition of anti-fascist filmmaking.
