The documentary film Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer from 2012 describes the preparations and implementation of the so-called “punk prayer” by the activists of Pussy Riot in February 2012 in Moscow and documents the trial against Marija Aljochina , Ekaterina Samuzewitsch and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova .
Content (summary)
The activists were accompanied by Pussy Riot in February 2012 in Moscow during the preparations and implementation of the so-called “punk prayer” . The process in Moscow is also being followed up and explained on the basis of statements made by those directly involved in the course of the negotiation. Interviews with, among others, the fathers of Nadezhda Andrejewna Tolokonnikowa and Yekaterina Stanislawowna Samuzewitsch as well as their lawyers complement the film implementation. The arbitrary actions of the Russian judiciary in the course of the trial in Moscow are relentlessly portrayed with cinematic passages of the course of the trial, supplemented by statements by activists, family members and friends. In return, it is shown that ultra-orthodox see the three women as demons and witches who denigrate their faith and their homeland.
background
The documentary was produced for HBO and shown for the first time on July 5, 2013 after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival . A Punk Prayer was broadcast on German-speaking television for the first time on February 5, 2014 on ORF 1 under the title Pussy Riot - No fear of the strong man . The documentary was nominated for an Oscar in 2014 .
The documentary Pussy vs. Putin of the Russian film collective “ Gogol's Wives ” should - according to the organizers of “Best.Doks - Injustice Needs Witnesses” - stay closer to the activists than the Russian-American production.
Reviews
“Of course there is a lot of naivety in Pussy Riot's political art activism, but ultimately the film reminds us that punk is always an attempt to shape the future yourself. ... The documentary has been nominated for an Oscar - it wouldn't be surprising if liberal Hollywood gilded this edgy swan song. "
