Pussy Versus Putin

This documentary runs for 60 minutes and provides a raw look at the experiences of Pussy Riot members following their sentencing for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." The film documents their disruptive performances, including a notable act in a Red Square cathedral and their campaign for transparent elections, all while highlighting the stark divide in contemporary Russian society.

The filmmakers, part of the Russian collective Gogol’s Wives, present the events without moral judgment, allowing viewers to form their own interpretations. Support for the band comes from various figures, including Madonna, who publicly expressed solidarity through her performance. The film captures the essence of performance art as a means of political expression amidst significant unrest in Russia.
