“Not your typical social issue film, this documentary utilizes a touch of humor & a wide diversity of perspectives to call upon people to stand up for their neighbors. In a time when xenophobia & authoritarianism are on the rise, the power of collective action here is a global rallying cry”

A new documentary at Sundance Film Festival shows a community coming together to stop immigration officials snatching their neighbors. But it wasn't shot in Minneapolis or Chicago. "Everybody To Kenmure Street" tells the story of a "dawn raid" in Pollokshields, Glasgow, in May 2021, where Home Office agents attempted to detain two Indian Sikhs who had been in the country for a decade. Hundreds of members of the community surrounded the vehicle for hours, after which the two men were released. Here's more from @AVClub.
