Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
" M1 f. o7 ?  D/ @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
, j$ T5 b2 U( |& D% d: ?1 [8 kconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
$ W( z3 V% J& z8 d9 Y7 K7 ~international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
' m# h* t, W; P& @they 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

  t6 P- A6 x8 z$ q# P4 J1 ]# `& ewho 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
2 `* `$ Y; N" R4 a8 `Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs

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

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