Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer

Directed by Maxim Pozdorovkin & Mike Lerner

As members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot, three women performed a 40-second ‘punk prayer’ inside a Moscow cathedral. It led to their arrest on charges of religious hatred and culminated in a trial that has reverberated throughout the world. Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin’s documentary offers an insight into the lives and beliefs of these women and an unsettling portrait of life in contemporary Russia.
