Boston Globe critic Wesley Morris accurately described this as "a modest but effective work of documentary uplift." While this is not a high-dollar polished production, it effectively tells a compelling story. An unbelievable story of dramatic change in a country ravished by war and violence. The Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, a simple group of mothers, sisters and wives who joined forces to turn around the destiny of a nation. Inspiring and life-changing. A reminder to us all that smart, consistent activism can make a difference, and that committed, documentary filmmaking can be effective to propagate the message of peace and social justice to the world.
One of the best documentaries in 2008. It is a testament to those who demand that peace come about.
Instead of talking about it, the women of Liberia decided to step up and put themselves on the line for peace.
It did not come easily, but they persisted until it did finally come.
This is the story of how they did it and a testament to the power of women and peacemakers.
I am just amazed at what these women were able to accomplish, and Director Gini Reticker made it a most enjoyable film.
This is a must see.
