7 L5 \9 c/ h" U* I# n6 u( YPacific, "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
, A/ {) _) g# {  }5 X. H7 pconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
, G8 b, a* I  v# i$ t4 q( Ginternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:

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

; {9 L; g  A' Bimprobable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

* V8 M0 m7 p, N3 s0 YAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
; ?. @2 x/ n8 osuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
