Synopsis:
********
, t7 f* s. x+ {1 l. {+ B' |* @Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
' n' m$ Y( Z6 L8 i( S  cPacific, "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
: D5 u8 h& z" \) a6 {+ gconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
" }0 |4 G! I" `7 @international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
, n2 s' o2 J: @4 rthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
: \3 m5 ^8 G. y& a- d1 oisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.
! t4 w# N0 Z5 A7 J( R, ^0 D
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
who brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
# b5 K& H1 h' |& ~3 U' Zscreens 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!
" F& i4 ^- g; S4 X: g0 W
According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
" e4 |! g# \0 S- Csuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
) A$ ~" V7 E2 c. Y0 H/ Kprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
& E; s$ ~7 K0 V" N+ wAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
' d: Q8 d, r+ ]) s/ w8 tso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
