Three young women face seven years in a Russian prison for a satirical performance in a Moscow cathedral. But who is really on trial in a case that has gripped the nation and the world beyond – three young artists or the society they live in? Filmed over the course of six months, this film tells the incredible story of three young women: Nadia, Masha and Katia.

Praise for “A Punk Prayer” the Documentary:

A blueprint for resistance and a reminder to all artists who aim for wider resonance – sometimes, to make your point, you have to go too far.
