Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer (UK-import)
As members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot, three women performed a 40 second "punk prayer" inside Russia's main cathedral. This performance led to their arrest on charges of religious hatred and culminated in a trial that has reverberated around the world and transformed the face of Russian society forever. Filmed over the course of six months, Oscar-nominated director Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin grant us unparalleled access and exclusive footage of the incredible three women, Nadia, Masha and Katia, behind their now-famous colourful balaclavas. As they defend their convictions from within a cage in the courtroom, we learn from their family and friends what transformed these women from political activists into modern day icons.
