Act & Punishment
Documentary, Art House & International
The film 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.

- I will admit, I didn't pay close enough attention to what Pussy Riot was really about. In my very Midwestern American way, I passively dismissed Pussy Riot simply because the name made me a little uncomfortable. I certainly could not talk about Pussy Riot on the radio on my talk show so I simply ignored the phenomenon. Now, I wish I hadn't been so stupid. The new documentary Act & Punishment lays out the case that Pussy Riot is far more important than I had, in my limited worldview, ever imagined. https://geeks.media/movie-review-act-and-punishment?_ga=2.130118543.1417020870.1515348633-953607229.1513947710Reply
