The Truth About The Police State (And Why You Should Be Worried) | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Truthdig report on the Russian feminist punk protest band Pussy Riot launching an immersive theatre project in London to recreate their experiences in Russian courts and labour camps. Graham discusses the role of politically engaged art in challenging corporate power, the cultural impact of apathy versus activism in the entertainment community, and how immersive experiences build empathy for the oppressed.
