********
- D6 L. g% G9 iSet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
. n( |; X0 p* ]8 @! o/ ZPacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
' \7 B  ~0 ]) j  }of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
, {8 G( s4 K% g  T  q: {' qconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
4 L+ R& \' ~8 U0 i8 @they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
* W6 s6 m$ N# aisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
' }: o- s0 o, P! f. o8 p( i2 kown 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
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
6 ]! N2 r" W6 h) p& Z9 [& }success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
# [3 R) `9 ~+ N4 ?, m# e! Cprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.

- r( e- {, I. o2 Z) x& Gso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
