Pray the Devil Back to Hell in September
The September Liberty Brew & View movie is "Pray the Devil Back to Hell."
It's sponsored by Springfield peace & justice groups as part of a week of events around the International Day of Peace. They wanted something with a more positive message and this sounds looks like a good one.
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.

I was considering showing Food Inc in November but I may not have to since it's playing in Springfield theaters this week. Check out movie times here.
In case you missed it, the SJR has an article about independent, documentary, and art films in Springfield. They started a twitter page for updates on openings and closings, including for alternative venues like Liberty Brew & View. Cool.
