Film screening followed by a Q & A session and live performance
by featured Australian songwriter Iain Campbell Smith

Synopsis:
********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
! M: w$ F- H# D) B# QPacific, "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
conflict 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
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
4 \, V: \, {  ~8 rown story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
5 i, p6 j0 F! t! fwho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
) q& M2 T  }* y4 l+ Iscreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
9 D+ z6 y2 f1 G5 l1 Isuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
0 Q- I' N1 m2 e  Q; |) I3 pprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
5 @) y+ j0 W7 Y- Z0 ~2 Fhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
1 i4 W! N- k; U9 o7 B# yAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
