An initial gathering of neighbours grew to thousands, with one man lying under the van to stop it from leaving.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on footage and interviews with protesters, Everybody to Kenmure Street shows what became one of the most spontaneous acts of civil resistance in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p><span><em><strong>How important is Kenmure Street given its happy ending and what message do you hope the film sends?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not every protest will achieve tangible results in the moment, but being on the right side of history is important. And this was a moral protest.<\/p>\n<p>People start thinking if it\u2019s illegal to stop a dawn raid, to protect our neighbours, then there\u2019s something wrong with the system. They start thinking we\u2019re going to have to <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/in-depth\/why-capitalism-needs-racism-and-migration\/\">change the system<\/a>. We\u2019re going to have to deal with issues of legality.<\/p>\n<p>This was what happened when a bunch of people, mostly strangers, decided today is the day they will be the change.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s really lovely that something so radical happened through reading groups, exchanges in WhatsApp groups and social media.<\/p>\n<p>A neighbour who ran out to the street in his pyjamas, community activists, the local imam, the schoolkid on his way to class. They all stood against the Home Office because they knew it was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>What we don\u2019t really get to go into is all the work that was done leading up to it. Or the work that organisations have done to fight racism and deportations for years.<\/p>\n<p>I hope people get a sense from the interviews that Kenmure Street didn\u2019t happen out of nowhere. That it was the latest iteration of events that have \u00adhappened through history on the back of people passing on their knowledge and turning against the law.<\/p>\n<p>Pollokshields, because of its \u00adhistory and the negativity and bigotry it has received in the past, understands that racism won\u2019t achieve anything and only isolates people further.<\/p>\n<p>And so it feels hyper-local and maybe it feels like that\u2019s not going to do things at a universal level. But that\u2019s how \u00adanything that\u2019s created with change on a universal level started, just a little spark.<\/p>\n<p><span><em><strong>The film, and the protest, is grounded in Glasgow\u2019s heritage through archive footage of rent strikes and shipyard occupations. How important was it to situate Kenmure Street in that context?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>From a storytelling perspective, Glasgow just felt like a treasure trove of connection through its history.<\/p>\n<p>Glasgow has mixed legacies, from its early opposition to apartheid to its proud history of trade unionism.<\/p>\n<p>But it was also important to show that the wealth of the city was built on the labour of enslaved people. The foundations of its industrial revolution were built on the backs of racial slavery and workers\u2019 exploitation, yet it\u2019s also a city that takes pride in its acceptance of diversity.<\/p>\n<p>It helps you understand why people turned up against all odds, but also very much why this outcome wasn\u2019t inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Glasgow is a paradox.<\/p>\n<p>What was fantastic about making this film was the feeling of contrast. People have been resisting for years, which is a big part of<\/p>\n<p>Glasgow\u2019s history, but there\u2019s a real cynicism among so many long\u2011term activists who were pushed aside when they won and stopped the deportation.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the thing I felt while making <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/socialist-review-archive\/nae-pasaran\/\">Nae Pasaran<\/a>\u2014a film about Scottish Rolls Royce workers who refused to repair engines for the Chilean airforce to protest Augusto Pinochet\u2019s dictatorship in the 1970s. They were totally open to receiving bad news.<\/p>\n<p>Many people think that\u2019s just how life goes and are hardwired to fight back even if they think they will lose.<\/p>\n<p>So I love that people who have been involved with activism their whole life were rewarded that day on Kenmure Street.<\/p>\n<p><span><em><strong>The film premiered at Sundance in the United States. How was it received in the age of Ice and Maga?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When we premiered the film in the US, people going to see it were bracing for an onslaught of negativity. As they watched, you could see them thinking, \u201cOh this could turn out well,\u201d and \u201cIs this possible?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That speaks to the sad state of affairs that we live in.<\/p>\n<p>Screening it in <a href=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/us-elections-2024\/people-are-fighting-in-any-way-they-know-how-minneapolis-university-student\/\">Minneapolis<\/a>, it felt like the film was alive. It\u2019s a story from the past, but it feels like a tool for right now.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think nostalgia is useful right now. What I do think is that it\u2019s important to understand that we are connected, past, present and future.<\/p>\n<p>People right now are feeling the same as you and people through generations have felt as you do. And they find ways to sustain themselves. I think that\u2019s the key.<\/p>\n<p>We need to get over the feeling that this is just me feeling this way. There\u2019s more of us than them. When we lose track of that, they know that this is the way to beat us\u2014divide and conquer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-174441\" class=\"wp-image-174441 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/socialistworker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ETKS_22_1_cropped.jpeg\" alt=\"Protesters defied the police orders and sat in the road\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" \/>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters defied the police orders and sat in the road<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><span>\u2018Even if we are born here, we are told we are not British\u2019<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span><em><strong>Tabassum, Community activist from Pollokshields<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a Pakistani Scottish Muslim woman, who has lived in Pollokshields my whole life and grown up through troubles. Racism was especially bad in the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why no one thought the people in that van would be white. That in itself feels not only very personal, but it feels like an attack on all of us who have experienced racism.<\/p>\n<p>Irrespective of the fact we were born in this country, we\u2019ve been told time and time again we\u2019re not British enough.<\/p>\n<p>And everything that\u2019s happened since Kenmure Street has further solidified that message\u2014don\u2019t get too comfortable in this country.<\/p>\n<p>Those men aren\u2019t that different from me. We\u2019re all Punjabi, we have the same culture\u2014the only difference is that they were born in India, I was born here.<\/p>\n<p>I think for a lot of us, what we were feeling was that this could be us. It could be our loved ones. Is this the world that we want to live in, where people are getting dragged out of their homes?<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I felt trepidation, but it went away quickly because I knew there were hundreds of people watching and coming to join us.<\/p>\n<p>And it was scary. Pollokshields is a largely South Asian community, we know the police have been violent. We know they don\u2019t take too kindly to being stopped in their due process. <\/p>\n<p>But as the crowd grew, it gave me so much reassurance, seeing those familiar faces, our friends. That gave confidence to the younger generation too. A lot of them have been racially profiled, which is intimidating.<\/p>\n<p>These boys, they have cars and they\u2019re always being stopped. The police assume if you\u2019re a young man in a fancy car that you\u2019re up to no good.<\/p>\n<p>But what I saw with those boys that day on Kenmure Street was that they felt seen.<\/p>\n<p>That must have been incredible for them, to feel that they were able to voice those things, to stand up to the police.<\/p>\n<p>I know they wouldn\u2019t have been able to do that had there just been one or two of us.<\/p>\n<p>But that day, the boys had their cameras in the polices officers\u2019 faces and there were people who were being more vocal saying, \u201cYou\u2019ve been doing this to us in our community, intimidating us, making us feel small.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook around, look at all these people, do something now. Try something now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And a lot of those boys would not have ever been to a protest or anything because the consequences for them are very different than for their white counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>The level of protection that day, I get it because I felt it too. They felt like all of these folk get it and we\u2019re in this fight together.<\/p>\n<p>Each one of us, we all felt that this is where our real power was\u2014 when the crowd had reached its thousands. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve always been told, one or two sticks are easily broken, but if it\u2019s a bunch of sticks, it\u2019s going to be impossible.<\/p>\n<p>We just need to keep reminding ourselves who we are as a people. Irrespective of the messages that we\u2019re hearing and seeing from the media and politicians, this place is all of our home and we\u2019ve got to protect us all.<\/p>\n<p>Things are changing fast and hard. I\u2019m guilty of feeling sometimes like things are getting really stacked against us, guilty of thinking how are we supposed to defeat this?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why this film is so timely. It gives that sense that we can actually win if we use our collective power.<\/p>\n<p>The actions that have happened since then, they all point to the same thing\u2014that we\u2019re going to do it again. We\u2019re going to have to take on the Home Office.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter how many times it takes for us to come out, we\u2019re not going to allow this to happen.
