Pussy Riot - The Movement briefly reviews the events that led to the harsh two-year sentences of Pussy Riot members for singing a punk rock song in Moscow's most important cathedral. Their message about the growing repression in Russia by Putin's regime caught the world's attention like no other dissidents before them and turned the avant garde feminist collective into a worldwide symbol of freedom. The film goes beyond the trial, to the women's prison experiences. The film crew is embedded in a violent demonstration that produces stunning footage. Included are exclusive interviews with Katia Samutsevich, the Pussy Riot member who was released; families of the women; famed Russian journalist, Masha Gessen; artists; and dissidents. Also included is a trip to the penal colony where Nadia Tolokonnikova was being held. Pussy Riot - The Movement explores the questions: Where are the freedoms guaranteed in the Russian Constitution? Is Putin writing his own "amendments" to the Constitution? Why doesn't the Constitution work?" Has Pussy Riot had a lasting impact on the fight for freedom in Russia? Can they start a movement?—Golden World Films, LLC

Pussy Riot - The Movement is current through July 2014, and explains 'Why?' a female rock collective asked 'Mary, Mother of God' to rid Russia of President Vladimir Putin's increasingly harsh and repressive regime. It details the lawlessness of the court system, the perversion of the Constitution and the backward slide into a totalitarian system supported by the Russian Orthodox Church.—Anonymous

Pussy Riot - The Movement, narrated by Daryl Hannah, covers nearly three years of the Pussy Riot saga. It begins with the arrest of Nadia Tolokonnikova, Masha Alekhina and Katia Samutsevich on a dark street in Moscow and continues through the two-year imprisonment of Nadia and Masha, their "early" release and continued activism at the Sochi Olympics and throughout Russia and the world. Pussy Riot - The Movement is a powerful look at the totalitarian regime that is now "modern" Russia - a regime described by Russian writer, Masha Gessen, as "medieval."

Pussy Riot - The Movement is the first comprehensive film that tells the full story - from arrest through release from prison and beyond - of the remarkable women who defied a strongman, survived Russian prisons and rallied the world behind them. The documentary also examines the perversion of the Russian Constitution by ex-KGB officer and President Vladimir Putin.—Carole Keeney Harrington
