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.
But since then, tens of thousands more raids have happened across the UK.
Since coming into power, immigration raids, detentions, and coerced removals have been ramped up by the Labour government.
There are up to 1.2 million undocumented people living in the UK.
Many have lived here for 20 years or more.
People being excluded, exploited, and threatened with detention and removal from UK.
They are our neighbours. Our friends.
Bristol Anti Raids will run a short training on how to spot a raid, and the rights you can share with those being targeted.
Wheels for Equality, Bristol Reporting Solidarity (BRS), Bristol City of Sanctuary & Bristol Defend the Asylum Seekers Campaign (BDASC) will all be present throughout the evening. These local groups all aim to make Bristol a safer and more welcoming place and will be part of the post-film discussion after the break for refreshments.
