—Los Angeles Times

“Reminds us of the incredible power available to the most ordinary of people if they are willing to act with courage and unwavering commitment.”
—The New York Times

“The contrast between the compassion of women and the façade of officialdom as a cover for a cruel dictator makes the point much better than a long judgmental tirade”

SYNOPSIS:
Pray the Devil Back to Hell chronicles the remarkable story of the courageous 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 their white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they took on the warlords and nonviolently forced a resolution during the stalled peace talks.

A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, the film 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.
