About Everybody to Kenmure Street: Community Cinema Screening

50% of ticket sales will go to The Welcoming, a charity dedicated to supporting asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Edinburgh. Please join us for soup and conversation after the film.

Join us to watch this excellent film together, which has been selling out in cinemas across the country. Everybody to Kenmure Street is a documentary about the residents of Glasgow’s Kenmure Street, who surrounded an immigration van detaining two of their neighbours who had been forcibly removed from their homes in a dawn raid, ultimately forcing the Home Office to free them.

From the Director of the outstanding 2018 documentary Nae Pasaran!, Felipe Bustos Sierra, this is an incredible film about the power of community action, and the solidarity that can we can show within our communities to ensure the safety of our neighbours when it’s needed most.
