Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (2013)
MOVIE
During the tumultuous winter of 2011, following a disputed election, Vladimir Putin reclaimed the Russian presidency, igniting widespread protests across the nation. Among the dissenters were the bold members of Pussy Riot, a radical-feminist punk collective. Clad in vibrant balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they infiltrated Moscow’s iconic cathedral to perform their provocative anthem, “Mother Mary, Banish Putin!” Their audacity led to a notorious “show” trial, turning them into symbols of resistance against oppression and highlighting the intersection of art, politics, and activism in contemporary Russia.
