Description
"Pray the Devil Back to Hell" tells the compelling story of the 'Liberian Women of Peace' movement. The women that are dressed in white form the living proof that non-violent action can lead to success, even when traditional diplomacy has failed. They succeeded in giving their war-torn country renewed prospects for the future through non-violent action.
This group of brave Liberian women stood up to the violent war gangs and the corrupt regime of Charles Taylor during the bloody civil war. The women, both Christian and Muslim, demanded an end to the fighting. When peace talks appeared to be leading nowhere, the women prevented negotiators from leaving the conference room. As their blockade was about to be broken up, they threatened to use their most powerful weapon: nudity. Their strategy worked. Their demonstrations eventually led to Charles Taylor's remission of power, and the election of Africa's first female President: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
The actions of the 'Liberian Women of Peace' attest to the positive impact of non-violent protest, even when traditional diplomacy fails. They succeeded in giving their war-torn country a new future.
This documentary has won several awards, including the best documentary award at the Tribeca film festival.
