New Releases: Everybody to Kenmure Street

Friday, August 14: Post-film discussion features Alejandra Salinas, Houston City Council At-Large Position 4; and Randall Morton, Executive Director, Progressive Forum

One of the best documentaries of 2026 is an inspiring chronicle of how a community spontaneously responded to a May 2021 immigration raid in Glasgow, Scotland. Officials detained two men in a largely Muslim neighborhood on the first day of the holiday Eid. Through an incredible communication network, more than 2,000 people showed up to record and disrupt the proceedings. In the filmmaker’s words: “This film is made from fragments of memory, of footage, of testimony. Some names are missing. Some voices are borrowed. Some images are grainy, captured for the instant. But together they form a portrait of a community that didn’t wait for permission to do the right thing.” Everybody to Kenmure Street is a reminder of the power that is always inherent in the people.

Tickets: $9 general admission; $7 MFAH members, students with ID, seniors (65+)
