Movie Haiku:Doc about 3 members of Feminist Rock Collective imprisoned for "blasphemy" in Russia sticks close to trial footage, breaking away for interviews that thankfully shed more light than heat. Essential background on a case that has generated world-wide controversy shows "the truth" to be more complicated than many realize. Is a church a sanctuary outside the public square? Good question...
