conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their

) Q; b, j3 s7 M! V; s- PAfghanistan, 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
3 d- h, o/ a$ asuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
