Knockanrawley Resource Centre 16 Days events
Posted on November 21, 2011
Tipperary Women's Network (TWN) and Knockanrawley Resource Centre Tipperary Town are screening the film, 'Pray the Devil Back to Hell'
'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.
