This is the story of what happened when the Home Office in Glasgow had a raid on Kenure Street on Eid in the most diverse neighborhood in the city. Its the story of a neighborhood coming together in order to protect members of the community.
This is a film that shows people standing up can make a difference. This is a film about the basic goodness of humanity since it shows that somewhere in the world civility isn't dead. I say this having seen mere days after ICE in America shot and killed a woman in a car because basically she didn't like what they were doing. I will not get into how what happened on Kenmure Street can no longer happen in most of the US, rather I will say you need to see this film because it will make you feel good and feel hope.
We need that.
Of course it helps that the people of Kenure Street come from a long line of protesters. For generations they have watched each other's back and fought the power when it needed to be fought. One of the great things about the film is that it shows a community that genuinely cares for each other regardless of where they came from.
This film is glorious.
Forgive me for not saying more than that, but I can't say more because I will get off on a rant.
See this film - feel hope in a world where that is in short supply
