In the winter of 2011, after a controversial election, Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president of Russia. In response, hundreds of thousands of citizens rose up all over the country to challenge the legitimacy of Putin’s rule. Among them were a group of young, radical-feminist punk rockers, better known as Pussy Riot. Wearing colored balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they entered Moscow’s most venerated cathedral and dared to sing “Mother Mary, Banish Putin!” Now they have become victims of a “show” trial.

I'm interested in what you mean by "12 angry men" type movies. Do you mean ones with less action and more human drama?
If so, I think those films are out there. They just don't make it to the big cinemas very often. I've just checked my local art-house cinema and it's currently showing
- a film about a Saudi girl who is banned from buying a bike
- a re-telling of Snow White as a bullfighter
- a "passionate ensemble drama of family dysfunction"
- a documentary about Pussy Riot
- a comedy about a bunch of blokes trying to recreate an epic pub crawl
