 PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL is the gripping account of a group of brave and visionary women who demanded peace for Liberia, a nation torn to shreds by a decades old civil war. Combining contemporary interviews, archival images, and scenes of present-day Liberia the film recounts the experiences and memories of the women who stood up to their country's tyrannical leader and brutal warlords, in order to bring peace to their tormented country.
"A lucidly impassioned film, filled with strong, eloquent spokeswomen."
--Ronnie Scheib, Variety
"Eloquently captures the power each of us innately has within our souls to make this world a better, safer, more peaceful place."
--Desmond Tutu
"A real uplift. This piece of might-have-been forgotten history now will launch a ripple effect among women the world over. Thank heavens Gini Reticker and Abby Disney committed to making it."
--Jane Fonda
"This film could change the world."
--Michael Moore

A must-see movie - inspiring, uplifting, suspenseful, joyful - and, most importantly, a bright light shining on the courage of women in the struggle for peace, whose story is rescued from oblivion by the filmmakers.

This is the best film I've seen all year. The words "uplifting" and "inspiring" are thrown around a lot, to a point where they've become almost meaningless. "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" restores the meaning in those words.
