10 Most Corrupt Us Presidents

10 Most Corrupt Us Presidents

The United States might not be the most corrupt country in the world but like every other country in the world, it does have its share of corrupt leaders. Speaking of corrupt leaders, some people may say that Donald Trump was the most corrupt President in US history while others would say that rank goes to Joe Biden or even Well, in some ways they may be right because each of these American Presidents was corrupt. Take Donald Trump for instance, who used his position to enrich himself and his family, filled his administration with former industry lobbyists, and sought to prevent an investigation into his shady business practices. That's corruption, right? However, regardless of whatever Trump, Biden, or Obama committed while in office, some past US presidents would certainly give them a run for their money. So, who were the most corrupt Presidents in US history? Some of the answers won't surprise you at all but others would be pretty shocking. So brace yourself as we show you 10 of the most corrupt US Presidents in history beginning with number ten.

Pussy Riot: The Movement

Pussy Riot: The Movement

Pussy Riot - The Movement briefly reviews the events that led to the harsh two-year sentences of Pussy Riot members for singing a punk rock song in Moscow's most important cathedral. Their message about the growing repression in Russia by Putin's regime caught the world's attention like no other dissidents before them and turned the avant garde feminist collective into a worldwide symbol of freedom. The film goes beyond the trial, to the women's prison experiences. The film crew is embedded in a violent demonstration that produces stunning footage. Included are exclusive interviews with Katia Samutsevich, the Pussy Riot member who was released; families of the women; famed Russian journalist, Masha Gessen; artists; and dissidents. Also included is a trip to the penal colony where Nadia Tolokonnikova was being held. Pussy Riot - The Movement explores the questions: Where are the freedoms guaranteed in the Russian Constitution? Is Putin writing his own "amendments" to the Constitution? Why doesn't the Constitution work?" Has Pussy Riot had a lasting impact on the fight for freedom in Russia? Can they start a movement?
