Emma Thompson Boards Felipe Bustos Sierra Doc ‘Everybody To Kenmure Street' As Exec Producer
Emma Thompson has joined Everybody To Kenmure Street, Felipe Bustos Sierra's latest feature, as an Executive Producer.
The film chronicles the true story of the 2021 Kenmure Street Protest, when residents and campaigners rushed to block a UK Home Office deportation in progress in Glasgow's most diverse neighbourhood. The eight-hour stand-off made international headlines as the community organised itself to buy time for more people to join their peaceful protest. Thanks to hours of footage from the day, the filmmakers recount the events of the day told from multiple perspectives.

The film is currently in production with Glasgow-based company Barry Crerar, producer Ciara Barry, DOP Kirstin McMahon, editor Colin Monie, sound designer Jack Coghill & executive producer Mark Thomas, with the support of Screen Scotland and a successful Kickstarter campaign, and is seeking completion funds, distribution, and sales.
First look footage from the film will be shown as part of the Docs 2025 Scotland Showcase at Cannes.
'Everybody To Kenmure Street beautifully and powerfully demonstrates the innate and deep decency of our people whilst also highlighting the institutional mannerisms and structures that are the opposite of this,' Thompson said in a statement. 'It's a documentary about what we as society often do not see, but what we can do when we do see it. I'm excited to be supporting Felipe with this urgent film.'
Emma Thompson previously served as Executive Producer on the documentary Mediha, directed by Hasan Oswald and distributed by Together Films, which won the 2023 Grand Jury Prize at Doc NYC and was also PGA nominated.
Emma Thompson is represented by Hamilton Hodell (UK), CAA (US) & Prosper PR.
