Movie Title: Pray the Devil Back to Hell
  72 min. 2008
Filmmakers:

Abigail E. Disney & Gini Reticker

  Fork Films
Description:

 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 ordinary women, both Christian and Muslim, came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside the presidential palace. 

Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they took on the warlords and non-violently forced a resolution to the stalled peace talks.  This is the inspiring story of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.
Awards include: Best Documentary - Tribeca Film Festival
