Ahead of its VOD release later this week, we have an exclusive clip from Act & Punishment, a new documentary from director Yevgeni Mitta which follows members of the controversial Russian activist group Pussy Riot and focuses on the trials that occurred after the women were arrested for publicly expressing their ideas of female independence and activism, combined with feminism and punk rock music. Check it out here or watch it over on our YouTube channel…
Act & Punishment follows the Russian all-girl punk rock band “Pussy Riot” – the real ‘jail-bait’ band – who stood up to government human rights oppression in the country and paid the ultimate price with their incarceration in 2011. Following their release from prison in 2012, their story is told in this stunning documentary film that covers their evolution from mere political activists through their formation of a punk rock band destined to bring their message of revolution to the masses and beyond.
Act & Punishment is set for release on VOD on January 23rd and on DVD on February 13th courtesy of Cleopatra Entertainment.
