Pray The Devil tells the true story of Liberian women: Christian and Muslim…mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, who came together to pray for peace and stage silent protests during the civil war in Liberia.  Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions to save their young boys from becoming child soldiers, and their families from becoming victims.  This moving documentary puts forth the question:  Does a bullet know Christian from Muslim?
