Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years

" y  n5 ~: L# B: S/ A7 Binternational 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
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

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

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