剧情介绍
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 a agreement during the stalled peace talks.
A story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverence 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.

这里男人的战争像过家家,女人的反战像过家家,整部电影也像过家家。像是开party,唱唱歌跳跳舞就解决了?有这么简单?女导演在强调妇女社会运动的成就,高度怀疑叙事角度不客观,当一家之言看吧。

女人们组织起来,给国家带来和平的故事。教训是: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER WORLD HAD WOMEN RULED THE WORLD EARLIER.

蠢蠢欲动了一学期终于去了美领馆参加活动。有的人看了一会儿发现不是他们认为的“电影”(另只有英字没有中字)就走了,很可惜。利比里亚,这个只时不时在新闻中出现几十秒的地方,长年被战争肆虐。片中的女人们没有武器,没有权柄,只有白T恤和勇气,竟促成了谈判。以柔克刚的力量,令人由衷敬佩感动
