Synopsis
A Road That Feeds Us documents an action by the Russian art group Voina (War), staged in August 2011 in the Moscow region as a critique of corruption within the traffic police. The action took place just before Vladimir Putin announced his return to the presidency for a third term, triggering the largest wave of civil protests in post-Soviet Russia and marking the beginning of the country’s turn toward authoritarian rule. The film also precedes the formation of Pussy Riot, whose future members include two of the film’s protagonists.
