family loyalty

the documentary had so much detail about the pussy riots and how they went to jail but the parts of the documentary that stuck out to me were their families and their support for their daughters. the biggest supporters were their dads, the men in this society are held in a better light than women so seeing that their dads are willing to sacrifice their reputations for the cause was an interesting thing see. Nadia's dad was the one who went through the most changes with his daughter but he still stuck by her through everything. even when she did graphic things that will stay with you forever.

I believe that these girls are very lucky to have such a loyal support system on their side while they do what they feel is right. However from watching everything that unfolded in the documentary and what each parent said it shows that love is unconditional in the name of family. "Families are like branches on a tree. We Grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one." the quotes resonates with Nadia and her dad because they have different idea's on how they want to live their lives and what they would have done to make their political stance clear but in the end, they have an unconditional bond.
