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
- c1 ^4 ]3 P5 ^1 pof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
3 k+ O+ i  c9 q" i: V0 f( Pinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
& H# M+ n- _0 `6 r& T* g: RIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
; K: D% |* T, w! oisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.
+ |* D5 a/ f: g! `2 b- g1 B
This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
; u' k5 O  t/ E  u, Q5 Vown story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
0 B6 H* {; W- G* M% o0 ^who brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
' \/ g2 c- B7 C$ K3 ~: o! m7 jscreens 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
0 x- g( R+ B0 V+ Land music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!
: v8 N& B7 L$ i
According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
6 J. C6 V9 [; u* |success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
& i8 e* E+ o. Y9 }8 qhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
$ u( k. m8 x  J$ S" W7 ?so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
