This uplifting portrayal of resistance focuses on an incident from 2021, when immigration officers conducted a raid on Glasgow’s Kenmure Street. A local activist dove under a van to disrupt the detainment, and the street soon filled with protestors. Filmmaker Felipe Bustos Sierra (Nae Pasaran) reconstructs what happened with eyewitness footage and a clever reenactment with Emma Thompson as “van man.” A Sundance Special Jury Prize winner, the film exemplifies the power of citizens.
