A number of supporters gathered at Napoleon Bistro & Lounge for the Young Humanitarian Circle's (YHC) networking reception and film screening. The featured film, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, was part of Abigail Disney's acclaimed PBS series, Women, War and Peace. The film documented the inspiring story of Liberia's women’s peace movement lead by 2011 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Leymah Gbowee. This marked the first time that Christian and Muslim women from this region united together to demand peace and an end to the campaign of violence, murder and rape. YHC co-chairs, Pamela Sorenson and Ashley Taylor, introduced the film, with RI’s Director of Regional Programs, Andrea Lari, providing remarks at the screening's close.
