A screening of the award-winning documentary 'Everybody to Kenmure Street' at Kelvin Hall, introduced by Zandra Yeaman.
Kelvin Hall is screening Everybody to Kenmure Street on Wednesday 14 November, a documentary that looks at a morning in Pollokshields that most of us around here remember. It's a 98-minute film from 2025, directed by Felipe Bustos Sierra, and it's part of the Black History Month programme run by CRER.
The film goes back to May 2021, when a Home Office dawn raid in Pollokshields — often described as Scotland's most diverse neighbourhood — drove hundreds of residents into the streets to stop their neighbours from being deported. It's a story that started right here in the city, and the film draws on footage from the National Library of Scotland's film archive, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The screening is presented by the National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall in partnership with the Hunterian.
Before the film starts, Zandra Yeaman, Curator of Discomfort at the Hunterian Museum, will introduce it. Everybody to Kenmure Street has already picked up the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance at the Sundance Film Festival, so it's coming to Glasgow with some serious recognition behind it.
