Pray the Devil Back to Hell

This is an amazing film that Culture Project has screened in the past and might possibly be a part of our upcoming Women Center Stage programs. I encourage you to check out the trailer below:




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 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.

The Reckoning - Trailer

The Reckoning is a film which was screened earlier this month as a part of Culture Project's "Blueprint for Accountability" series.

Over 120 countries have united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC) — the first permanent court created to prosecute perpetrators, no matter how powerful, of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. I thought the film was very interesting! I didn't even realize an International Criminal Court existed.
