8 u8 T# A# Q9 p! {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
5 e% e' A, U8 nof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
6 ^2 C" E/ y* }international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
$ y& R; I( J* U5 Sthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter

7 \- e' Y( Z7 y) [% E/ E, G- ?$ W% RThis 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
' b* H  D; I3 ~: P* tscreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
- b& F( o5 @5 [3 FAfghanistan, 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!

7 X0 H9 n/ G  iAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the

process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
, ~: J2 `% m0 Phands 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,
