An object lesson in interfaith cooperation and an instructional manual for people committed to making systemic political change through nonviolent means.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The film is brief and not especially creative in its storytelling, but nonetheless unforgettable; this remarkable story deserved to be captured on film.

Pray the Devil Back to Hell is at once inspiring and horrific.
