Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South

conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
/ _% J8 u3 e* ?4 m  `# O, Town story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
4 @$ I& Z) J# Z1 cwho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
# n' {8 }1 _: a5 L! Tscreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
4 H4 x- o! B4 R: g; I; J; nimprobable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
. c! Y/ L# ?) u/ D3 T6 Asuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
/ M2 i1 ?5 w/ l8 g2 Y- [  hhands 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,
* U+ F. E. M/ [% r7 Y4 Hso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
