Pussy Riot Takes on American Police Brutality

Lesson Brief BBC Russian Service
Russian female punk-group Pussy Riot released a new music video this week, its first in English. The new song, "I Can't Breathe," takes on the topic of police brutality, specifically focusing on the case of Eric Garner, who was choked to death in New York City while being restrained by police officers in July 2014. The new track is part of Pussy Riot's wider collaborative effort with other musicians and artists to speak out against social injustices and governmental abuses of power. Two members of Pussy Riot previously served two years in the Russian prison system for their now infamous performance in a Moscow church in 2012.
