This important documentary sheds light on the "Women's Peace Movement of Liberia," and celebrates these unsung heroes. These women wore plain white clothing as a symbol to show that they are fighting for peace as they sat at the fish market every day where their president, Charles Taylor, would drive by. Featuring Leymah Gbowee, Human Rights Advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Laurette.
