Thousands of ordinary women, both Christian and Muslim, came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of Liberia&#8217;s Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they took on the warlords and nonviolently forced a resolution during the stalled peace talks. A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, this film honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring, uplifting, and most of all motivating, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4111-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs-wnet-preprod.digi-producers.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/pray-the-devil-back-to-hellnew.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs-wnet-preprod.digi-producers.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/pray-the-devil-back-to-hellnew.mp4\">https:\/\/pbs-wnet-preprod.digi-producers.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/pray-the-devil-back-to-hellnew.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PBS five-part documentary series Women, War &amp; Peace will include the broadcast premiere of Pray the Devil Back to Hell, the Oscar-shortlisted documentary by Gini Reticker and Abigail Disney.
