The Young UN Women of Melbourne would like to present a fund-raiser to promote Women, Peace and Security in Afghanistan with the screening of Pray the Devil Back to Hell, a documentary produced by Abigail Disney.

Winner of the Tribeca Film Award in 2008,  it follows a courageous group of Muslim and Christian women in Liberia who band together to end the violence taking their men off to war and turning their children into child soldiers. This documentary features footage of the original protesters as thousands don white clothing and protest in the streets. Watch these women mobilise a country to end 14 years of civil war and deliver Africa’s first female President.

The New York Times calls it Uplifting, disheartening, inspiring and enraging, this film is not to be missed in the Post- Arab Spring world.

DOORS AT 6.00PM
