Running time 90 min
When three members of art-punk collective Pussy Riot were arrested for staging a protest on holy ground the footage went viral and their situation became the focus of international media attention. The subsequent draconian sentencing of Nadia, Masha and Katia continues to fuel the debate on free speech in Russia and raises questions about the influence of State and Church. This Sundance Special Jury Prize winner features courtroom coverage, footage of Pussy Riot performances and in-depth interviews.
Directors Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin will be joined by supporter Yoko Ono for a Q&A following the film. (Yoko Ono will only be at the BFI screening).
