********
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
. n2 K$ `# V/ A6 S4 Q* ?of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
, f' {$ g( t1 s$ T: b' b5 sinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
$ Q  K; ?( V! y8 I- a9 Y3 \Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
' c7 a2 o% k4 N  X5 ?5 `1 ?island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
7 e8 n1 ~8 W- ]# W6 d, u0 h& Vown 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
screens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
2 f2 ~8 s! k6 V  ?$ I% oAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
" b3 H% E  ^& j1 O& Eand music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

7 ~( N3 U; o6 t9 N1 PAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
8 j- ~; M9 q5 ~' Y4 O6 ?# qsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
7 [" w4 o# V4 ]' s$ K1 K+ r/ Hprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
9 i! b6 |# ]3 O% J1 H1 _$ |hands 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,
# d; [2 Y9 x& ~$ D$ V! d9 mso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
