There’s a van on your street. It says IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT on the side. It’s here for your neighbours. What do you do?
Fusing documentary with celebratory dance theatre, These Are Our Neighbours revisits the attempted raid on Kenmure Street in 2021 that became an eight-hour act of shared resistance, where an entire community mobilised to protect two people from deportation.
Written by Katharine Williams (Miracle on Deanston Drive) and developed in collaboration with the community of Pollokshields, These Are Our Neighbours blends testimony, movement, music and light to tell an inspiring story of everyday humanity, solidarity and courage.
