Documentary tracing events in a Glasgow street when the Home Office attempt to arrest two foreign men, presumably for not having appropriate visas.
Neighbours and locals protest, successfully preventing their removal in a van. The crowds are joined by local politicians.
The documentary attempts to contextualise these events withing Glasgow`s history as a radical city.
The presentation of events is entirely celebratory. No effort is made to question the legitimacy of the collective action, or the reasons for the arrest of the two men: sentimentality prevails.
The film is watchable, however, reminiscent somehow of Ealing films such as Passport to Pimlico.
