Cleopatra Music and
Films, with sales and distribution expertise provided my MVD Entertainment
Group, has selected Jan. 23 as the DVD debut date for documentary filmmaker Evgeny
Mitta’s Act & Punishment: The Pussy Riot Trails.
The story of the punk
rock group Voina’s female exodus by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Mariya Alyokhina
to join with Yekaterina Samutsevich (and others) to form the feminist punk rock
group (or troupe) known as Pussy Riot and their rise to fame (or notoriety)
plays out in this insightful documentary by Russian artist-turned-filmmaker Evgeny
Mitta.
The trio — who along with
their Pussy Riot compatriots — would stage impromptu public performances
(which, were of course, forbidden) and film them (punk rock music videos) and
that would eventually lead to their arrest, trial and imprisonment for
“premeditated hooliganism.”
The great irony is that
their arrest and trial took these members of the punk rock group Pussy Riot
from Moscow-based troublemakers to international celebrities!!
Act & Punishment: The Pussy Riot
Trails is in Russian with
English subtitles.
