STORIES of HOME
In May 2021, a UK Home Office dawn raid triggers one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Pollokshields, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood, hundreds of residents rush to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours.
Showcasing the power of community action against increasingly totalitarian immigration policies, this documentary from director Felipe Bustos Sierra and Sundance winner offers hope in a particularly difficult time, reflecting how important the strength of togetherness is for inspiring and instilling change in our society.
In partnership with Stand Up to Racism, and we will be joined by a guest speaker who will introduce the film and lead the Q&A. We will also be donating our takings from the bar to Stand Up to Racism.
This film is part of our newest strand, Stories of Home, in partnership with the BFI. Stories of Home will showcase films that explore the medium’s potential to bring communities together and allow us to create a welcoming and inclusive space encouraging connection with others.
