Synopsis:

Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
1 _4 N2 }6 J3 L# kPacific, "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

  ~! X1 O. l+ u5 y% V) \international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter

island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

8 s0 D8 J+ {' z( H/ {" yThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
, l0 a- u- ~. T# D! h  iown 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
3 |8 }) s1 I+ jscreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
- e8 N% B* i; ~7 _# ?- U+ V2 nAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

3 J- D# e8 P1 nAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
/ ~5 n- Z/ X9 ^. l$ a( fsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
$ L! U4 ~; {$ `% o9 s9 Z* Oprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
  U9 L/ E8 \4 x+ ]$ y; dAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
