Liberia witnessed a spiral of violence, hunger, and death for more than a decade. But women said enough was enough and united to try and end the war. They came together regardless of their origin, class, or religion.
Cecelia Danuweli was one of these women who began by denying their husbands sex and started holding peaceful protests. She, like many other women, ended up redefining the front line of a brutal civil war. Award-winning director Gini Reticker traveled to Monrovia to tell the story of these women. In this episode of Cry Like a Boy, the pair reflect on what this peaceful revolution meant.
