A UK Home Office dawn raid in Glasgow sparks one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory.
On the morning of Eid, May 2021, police swooped on two local men facing deportation in Pollokshields, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood. Hundreds of residents left their daily routines to take to the streets, organizing themselves on the fly to protect their neighbours. This documentary, with the active participation of executive producer Emma Thompson, is a profoundly moving portrait of ordinary citizens rising to extraordinary action, celebrating courage, solidarity, and power in a community confronting injustice.
