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

4 _0 {& ?4 J. Fconflict 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
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
# O2 A0 M* X: S- G; Cisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
. C; j4 b0 n( ^; Yown story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
who brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
screens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and

improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs

success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
1 @# u0 \, J. e: m; nprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.

so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
