Pussy Riot

This week we watched a really informative documentary on a situation involving the Pussy Riot band that will go down in history. Pussy Riot is known for their political messages sent through their song lyrics and performances which pretty much put them in jail. After performing in a Christ Church they were arrested for there risqué outfits and disruptive singing in an inappropriate place.  This girl group is unapologetic for their actions because they feel strongly about their opinions and feel like they should be spread to share awareness amongst their people. They are from Moscow, Russia where they are not a fan of their president Putni. The day he was elected into office was the day Pussy Riot formed.

Throughout their court hearings you could see it in their eyes that they were not regretful of their decisions. They walked into court smiling and waving to people and cameras. Two of the three have spouses and kids so you would think they would be upset that they are taken away from their families. You can tell they feel strongly about this because normally you would say to set a good example for your kids but their lessons to their kids is to stand up for what you believe in and don't let anyone tell you it's wrong.

There were people on the streets who were fighting for their freedom and didn't think they deserved to be put in jail, but there were others who were fighting for them to be put away for years. There are two sides to this situation and it's hard to pick a side. It was disrespectful for them to go into a church were people pray and that is a very special place to some innocent people who didn't ask for this but on the flip side, they are allowed to express themselves however they want and they are standing up for what they believe in. If this happened at a regular concert or performance, things would have been different but it's really just about where they chose to do this.

Overall, the group did something they're allowed to do but they should have done it somewhere else and not disrespected the people of the church who didn't ask for this. They are unapologetic for their actions and due to what they did, they did two years in jail. They are still around today and doing what they do best without a regret!
