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.
“This political documentary about protests during the Liberian Civil War is an uplifting celebration of the capacity of everyday people to affect great change.”
The film is brief and not especially creative in its storytelling, but nonetheless unforgettable; this remarkable story deserved to be captured on film.
