48 SECONDS. In 2012, the feminist art collective, who call their ideals PUSSY RIOT, offered a punk prayer to the Mother of God on the altar of Cathedral of Christ Saviour Church (Moscow) to protest state abuses and a contested election. After 48 seconds, they were dragged away, arrested, tried as enemies of the Church and State, and sent to prison for hooliganism and inciting religious hatred. Barbara Hammond鈥檚 We Are Pussy Riot or Everything Is P.R. attempts to tell part of this story.
