As members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot, three women performed a 40 second "punk prayer" inside Russia's main cathedral. This performance led to their arrest on charges of religious hatred and culminated in a trial that has reverberated around the world and transformed the face of Russian society forever. As Nadia, Masha, and Katia defend their convictions from within a cage in the courtroom, we learn from their family and friends what transformed these women from political activists into modern day icons. Filmed over the course of six months, Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin grant us unparalelled access and exclusive footage of the incredible three women behind their now-famous colourful balaclavas.

If they did what they did in a mosque, it would be a different story.

Icons? Idiots more likely.
