Lipscomb University’s HumanDocs Film Series will host a free public screening of Pray the Devil Back to Hell, a documentary outlining the story of a group of Liberian women, both Christian and Muslim, who cross cultural and religious lines to work together to end their nation’s civil war and bring peace to their government.

Pray the Devil Back to Hell spotlights a small band of Liberian women who came together in the midst of a bloody civil war, took on the violent warlords and corrupt Charles Taylor regime and won a long-awaited peace for their shattered country in 2003.

The women 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.

Pray the Devil Back to Hell has won several awards at film festivals around the world, including the Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival and the Wilbur Award for Best Film Documentary.

HumanDocs is a social-justice documentary series that aims to create a more just, peaceful and inclusive university and city. This showing of Pray the Devil Back to Hell is hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences at Lipscomb University in partnership with ITVS Community Cinema and Nashville Public Television.
