Event in DC: Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion

I heard about this on the radio this morning:

On Mon., August 24 at 7pm, Woolly Mammoth co-hosts a screening of the acclaimed documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell with a panel discussion to follow. Community Partner co-host organizations include the World Organization for Human Rights USA, InterAction, Peace X Peace, and the Washington, DC Film Society.

At Landmark E Street Cinema (E Street, NW, betw. 10th & 11th). The screening and panel are FREE, but reservations are encouraged at screening@woollymammoth.net

Panel: Dr. Patricia Morris, Exec. Director, Peace X Peace (Moderator), with Piper Hendricks, Int'l. Justice Project Dir, World Organization for Human Rights USA.

Named Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival, Pray the Devil Back to Hell is the gripping account of a group of brave and visionary women who demanded peace for Liberia, a nation torn to shreds by a decades-old civil war. The women's historic yet unsung achievement finds voice in a narrative that intersperses contemporary interviews, archival images, and scenes of present-day Liberia together to recount the experiences and memories of the women who were instrumental in bringing lasting peace to their country.

This is in conjunction with the Woolly Mammoth Theater Company's world premiere of the play "Eclipsed," which is about the lives of five Liberian women during Liberia's civil war.
