Pray the Devil Back to Hell

"Pray the Devil Back to Hell" chronicles the remarkable story of the Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. Thousands of women - ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and daughters, both Christian and Muslim - came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed with only white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they demanded a resolution to the country's civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about an agreement during the stalled peace talks. This is a story about sacrifice, unity, and transcendence that honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations. From Academy Award-nominated director Gini Reticker and acclaimed producer Abigail E. Disney, "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" (Winner, Best Documentary, Tribeca Film Festival) has screened in all 7 continents in over 60 countries in thousands of venues for women and men of all walks of life, in major cities as well as remote villages around the world.
