How Glasgow stopped an immigration raid

from Late Night Live - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

In 2021 UK immigration officers carried out a dawn raid in Kenmure St in the culturally diverse Pollokshields area of Glasgow's Southside.  They arrested two Sikh men who’d been members of the community for ten years, and put them in a van.  But as far as their neighbours were concerned, they’d picked on the wrong people. Over the course of the day 2,000 people surrounded the van in a spontaneous, peaceful sit-in protest. What happened that day has been documented in a new film called “Everybody to Kenmure Street,” which is now showing at the Sydney Film Festival, with upcoming screenings in Melbourne and Castlemaine. Guest: Felipe Bustos Sierra, Director Everybody to Kenmure st plus Tabassum Niamat, Executive Director, Bowling Green Together Community Centre and Kenmure St protesterProducer: Catherine Zengerer
