Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
- U) a- @, P3 c$ r$ w) OPacific, "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
- U9 l# @+ L3 J+ K1 Tinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
: g* j7 C% w, [2 ~9 _% l) hIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
; C0 w- p! [, T9 [! V+ binternational peacekeeping operation.

. x3 l; i9 F4 g% B% FThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
own 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

and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

- K, z5 i: \) U  NAccording 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
