Synopsis:
********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
* W8 v, X/ A* u- K* k3 zof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
% Q1 O8 ]; \( d% L; f+ SIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
7 c. _# S: J5 Z6 Kisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
0 ^" q1 H5 B5 V$ m4 ^. zown story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people

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
% E- m4 P8 ^' g: c' A" T$ Aprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
6 G- n' o# u" Ghands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
