Synopsis

In an extraordinary exchange of letters, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek and imprisoned Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova discuss artistic subversion, political activism, and the future of democracy via the ideas of Hegel, Deleuze, Nietzsche, and even Laurie Anderson. Touching, erudite, sharp, and worldly, their correspondence unfolds with poetic urgency. Two radicals, one in a Russian forced labour camp, the other writing to her from far outside its walls, show passionately across linguistic and generational divides that 'there is still a common cause worth fighting for.' Touching, erudite, and worldly, their correspondence unfolds with poetic urgency.
