Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South

of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter

island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their

" g& d$ `; a+ ~; p" p' `8 c/ bAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
