Emma Thompson<\/a> not only serves as an executive producer of the documentary, but she also appears in it. In the trailer, she can be seen crawling underneath an immigration paddy wagon, recreating one of the tactics used by Kenmure neighbors to flummox officers.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cEverybody to Kenmure Street beautifully and powerfully demonstrates the innate and deep decency of our people whilst also highlighting the institutional mannerisms and structures that are the opposite of this,\u201d Thompson said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a documentary about what we as society often do not see, but what we can do when we do see it. I\u2019m excited to be supporting Felipe with this urgent film.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tA description of the documentary notes, \u201cThe morning in Glasgow, the first day of Eid, started as any other. However, when neighbors heard through community message networks that two local men were snatched up for deportation, hundreds of people left their daily lives to rush down to Kenmure Street and put their bodies on the line. Though mostly strangers and with almost no planning, this extremely diverse group organized themselves, taking on essential roles to allow the collective to achieve their goal: protecting their own from government forces going after the most vulnerable among them.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAn inspiring and profoundly moving portrait of what \u2018normal\u2019 citizens are capable of in the face of injustice, Everybody to Kenmure Street reminds us of the power that is always inherent in the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBustos Sierra is a Chilean-Belgian filmmaker who is based in Scotland.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI am the son of a Chilean exile. My early life was filled with stories of what was lost \u2013 countries, people, ideals. This film is an act of recovery, and about the quiet, invisible lines that connect one act of resistance to another, across time. As someone says on the day; \u2018sometimes all you need to be is a link in the chain,\u2019\u201d he writes in a director\u2019s statement. \u201cIn Everybody to Kenmure Street, I am not trying to explain. I am trying to remember, preserve and rebuild. It\u2019s not a film with heroes, but with presence, with voices that echo through each other. It\u2019s a film about being present, being in the street, being together, being human.\u201d<\/p>\n
