Pray the Devil Back to Hell

I am a believer in the teachings of Abraham Hicks and practice it daily. I am getting there but then there are parts of me that think how effective this kinds of teachings would be against the more “practical” powers, like guns and such. Would an idea of peace stand up to a gun?

“Pray the devil back to hell” is one of those rare documentaries that extolls and answers that question of how usable the practice of ABE's teachings is in the real world with a resounding yes! It show cases the huge role that women of Liberia played in getting the peace process on the way. What is truly magnificient to me is the way that these women were able to gather their forces and create a powerful unified idea in the collective consciusness. Love might be a beautiful idea but walking the path of love is not always easiest thing to do. Everyone of Abraham's teachings is put into action in this 1 hour 11 minutes documentary. Truly and eye opener to me about the power of an idea.

I love the opening montage of art that gives the viewer a summary of the what the documentary is going to be about. I really like this. It was very effective in framing the story around the whole documentary. The only movie that comes to my mind that does a similar style which is actually not a documentary is the puppet sequence in the beginning of “Hell Boy 2”. This kind of style really appeals to me for setting the stage and whetting the appetite of the audience of the unfolding story.

Yes these women faced fear. Yes they felt anger consuming their souls but never once did they give in to the desire to dish out the same violence and atrocities that was forced on them. This ensured the success of their campaign. Any point if they gave in, it would have spelt disaster or failure for their campaign for peace. This documentary has convinced me that truly a gun is never more powerful than love.

At many points of this documentary, the women seems to be the only voice of reason against a backdrop of violence and unrest. There was one amusing scene where during the disarmament, even UN lost control over the people and the narrator says "UN is lucky that the women are there". Funny stuff.

It's no wonder that this documentary has won many accodales. 5 stars from me!
