As the rebel noose tightened around the capital city of Monrovia, thousands of women \u2013 ordinary mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters, both Christian and Muslim \u2013 formed a thin but unshakeable line between the opposing forces. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions, they literally faced down the killers who had turned Liberia into hell on earth. In one memorable scene, the women barricaded the site of stalled peace talks in Ghana and refused to move until a deal was done. Their demonstrations culminated in Taylor\u2019s exile and the rise of Africa\u2019s first female head of state, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Inspiring and uplifting,<em> Pray the Devil Back to Hell<\/em> is a compelling example of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.<!--more--><br \/>\nWednesday&#8217;s screening is one of <a href=\"http:\/\/itvs.org\/women-and-girls-lead\/events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three high-profile events<\/a> honoring International Women\u2019s Day.
