Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
9 K5 }. d% {; O( M# v; Zof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
6 d+ K/ h6 C/ U/ \* |* cinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
; C# f* h$ X( yIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
& _9 ^9 D) @: R% v4 F6 J( [island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

who brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

: B; _! Z; f- s7 a, E% EAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
