With skilful eloquence, this remarkable film tells how thousands of women in Liberia helped peacefully end the country's second bloody civil war. Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian woman who witnessed both civil wars, had a dream: "To get the women of the church together to pray for peace." A commanding, inspiring and emotionally stirring documentary about the futility of war and the splendour of peace.
