“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 an agreement during the stalled peace talks.

“I am learning along the way too and do feel
That sometimes there comes a time
Even when I wish to go away and hide
When one must make a stand
In order to help the world realize
That in the end
All that was necessary was a change of mind
I have no enemy
For Peace sake, stop the fight.”
