5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating New Film, November 12, 2009
This review is from: Pray the Devil Back to Hell (DVD)
Pray the Devil Back to Hell is a captivating new film by director Gini
Reticker. It exposes a different story angle for the largely forgotten recent events
of the women of Liberia uniting to bring the end to their nation's civil war.

This film is amazing in the way it captivates your attention from the
earliest frames. It doesn't shy away from showing footage of the violent
events that took place during the Liberian civil war. But the main story
of the film is that of Leymah Gbowee and the other women uniting, despite
their religious differences, to force action on the stalled peace talks in
their country. Using entirely nonviolent methods, not only are the peace
talks successful, but Charles Taylor, the president of Liberia, is forced
into exile leading to the first election of a female head of state in
Africa.

The women of this film are truly an inspiration and no one can fail to be
moved by the message of hope that comes through clearly in this film.
These are heroes that deserve to be remembered and with Pray the Devil we
are able to do that, gaining both a knowledge of the history we are
ignorant of through archival footage and an understanding of the leaders
of this movement through close-up interviews with the many women who lead
it.

The film also offers a great soundtrack & inspirational song- "Djoyigbe" by Angelique Kidjo & Blake Leyh.

I highly recommend this soul-touching film. Once you watch it, you'll want to share it with your friends because- "PEACE IS LOUD"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing true story, November 11, 2009
This review is from: Pray the Devil Back to Hell (DVD)
This story is a fantastic testament to the power of community organizing, women's empowerment, non-violent peaceful protest, and faith in the face of incredible odds. The women in this film are modern-day saints, inspiring in every way, and the film is very well made. Its re-enactments are almost seamless, and the creative team's handling of the major events in relationship to the intimate stories of suffering and resolve is commendable. It's almost too good to be true to know that it really happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grassroots Activism in Action, November 11, 2009
This review is from: Pray the Devil Back to Hell (DVD)
The women of Liberia, in serious of shockingly unknown events, were able to change the face of their nation's government. How? Not with guns. Not with politicians and diplomats. But by employing the ancient Greek techniques of Lysistrata by Aristophanes. Using every technique from sex strikes to striping naked and barricading hallways, the women of Liberia wage a successful campaign to oust their president and resume their country's stalled peace talks.

Pray the Devil Back to Hell is sure to inspire anyone who feels they do not have the power to make a change in the world. The women of Liberia united across religious and cultural boundaries in the face of a devastating civil war in order to bring peace to their countries. With these women as examples, no one ever needs to feel they aren't important enough to make a difference. This film has the power to touch hearts and move people to action.

Pray the Devil has also spawned the "Peace is Loud" campaign, which everyone should check out after watching the film [...]. It's a great way to move from inspiration to action.
