Russian feminist group Pussy Riot released a music video for their new song, “Police State,” coming exactly one year after Trump became president of the United States. The music video was directed by Matt Creed and Sean Williams, and it features actress Chloe Sevigny who plays a police officer.
Member of Pussy Riot Nadya Tolokonnikova worked with Grammy nominee Ricky Reedon on the song. She states that:
“Pro-authoritarian trends and autocratic, conservative, right-wing leaders are spreading around the world like a sexually transmitted disease. What can we do? If we find a way how to act together, be articulate, focused and persuasive, we can shift mountains. Look back: people did it before. Soviet dissidents were fighting against one of the most oppressive governments on the planet and shared their own diy magazines (samizdat) via secret networks. Labor union leaders and civil rights activists were dying for their beliefs in the US. And it actually did make our world a better place.”, says Nadya.
