% E. [( T8 P5 O) uPacific, "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
9 }- N+ w2 c7 g2 e, ?% rconflict 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
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
  m7 q4 r# ~3 ^" I( c+ r) P: ~4 u- oisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

5 S+ U) L, G- gThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
own story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people

9 P+ e0 i0 C1 E* {Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
4 H6 T" |2 r7 ^2 ^+ Timprobable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

- ?' [5 F& E: K; `3 y: {9 T1 r8 i5 \According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
. k( Y2 \, K; B6 B1 {/ X% hsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
1 I- c& k; i. kprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the

5 b. P( @9 ~% B7 k8 d+ L. AAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
