"PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL"
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 only with 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 a agreement
during the stalled peace talks.
A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell
honors the strength and perseverence 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.
