Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
* C3 b6 [: Q: b  v1 \Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
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
; U+ @" a) y: \international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
; g  E0 Z8 J5 j4 b3 Uthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
own story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
, B9 U& G, F# O4 E, lwho 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
" ?; l. H/ `( h5 o: ~- O8 NAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs

& D! p. y5 @6 V* ]8 [2 l# YAccording 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

* n8 `# H# ~7 X: O3 E3 X1 Whands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
% Z3 U; g" G  a( l: ?so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
