“Everybody to Kenmure Street” is an exceptional documentary, both in the story it tells and in the way it tells it, about what happened that day.

The rough-and-ready aesthetic of this account of a grassroots act of resistance -- it is largely sourced from camera phone footage -- belies the film’s dexterous editing and elegant interweaving of social history and ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy.

There’s definitely a rousing prescience to a film like this at such a politically precarious moment, and perhaps we should take this rare happy ending with a pinch of salt.

3d

A mildly engaging, but too narrow, incomplete and ordinary documentary about an extraordinary event in British History.

The film crucially places these inspiring events within Glasgow's rich history of principled protest.

If Everybody to Kenmure Street is a film about community, it’s also about culpability, and Bustos Sierra traces Britain’s revived furor against immigrants to Scotland’s colonial history.
