Pussy Riot Documentary Trailer: 'A Punk Prayer' Promo Premieres Ahead Of HBO Debut

Pussy Riot Arrest Chronicled In New Doc

The trailer for "Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer," the documentary that chronicles the feminist punk band's protest and subsequent arrest, has made its way online.

The 90-minute film will receive an HBO debut on June 10. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and features archival footage of the band's arrest as well as interviews with the members' families. The movie does not contain interviews with the band members themselves, however.

The documentary took home Sundance's World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Punk Spirit.

The June 10 premiere kicks off HBO Documentary Films' 10-week summer series. Other premieres will include films about Marilyn Monroe, fracking, casting directors and American couples' views on love and sex.
