Everybody to Kenmure Street + Q&A
classified 12AJoin us for this special screening of Everybody to Kenmure Street as part of Bristol Transformed festival.
In May 2021, a UK Home Office dawn raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Pollokshields, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood, hundreds of residents rush to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours.
Alongside viral social media clips and retrospective interviews with those involved, the powerful hybrid film also includes dramatic re-enactments where actors (including Emma Thompson, who also acts as a producer) take the place of some of the key players that day.
Bristol Transformed, Bristol’s leading festival of radical politics, arts and culture, will return on Easter weekend (4-5 April) at the Trinity Centre. There’ll be workshops, panels and activities covering a whole range of left politics. Come along to learn about practice, theory, and how we can all get involved to transform ourselves, Bristol, and the world!
Tickets for the festival are available here.
This special screening of Everybody to Kenmure Street will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Bristol Transformed. More details on panelists coming soon.
