This is a documentary about how the women of Liberia decided they’d had enough with the outrageous violence and civil unrest in their country and then actually did something about it. Awesome!
The filmmaking itself wasn’t anything spectacular. There was a lengthy segment of the movie that had a bunch of text on the screen, headlines and news clips and whatnot, and that part really annoyed me. It seemed like a trailer for the movie and not the movie itself. Other than that the format was fairly standard—nothing too crazy, nothing too experimental. It made me happy to see that the film was produced almost solely by women.
I would recommend this movie based on the inspirational quality of the story. Pray the Devil Back to Hell is about events that you think sound way too good to be true, and so when you realize that they really did happen you feel like the world isn’t as awful a place as you feared.
