********
8 V, G5 Y# Y* g/ r% qSet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
& t; Z3 q4 P/ rof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
6 C8 Y, @( x: _0 l6 ]1 lconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
1 ]# f& N1 |1 d, y; ?3 a6 ^6 tinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
( t/ m2 p4 D. `. S8 b; {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 j- g: V5 H3 l- }/ ?own story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
; i  Y+ W' X) O: x* k9 N+ nwho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
1 Z; }  v! s) U. p: I, }% Ascreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
6 r1 O. p3 O# I1 @and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

( Y5 ^5 R- {, P- P  {; x( z6 v9 yAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
5 X+ e/ S- ~  U# K' E2 Isuccess 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
% W/ J: d2 A6 j' e  Y! Y/ P  F: h5 Lhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
% F7 V0 N' X% z, T# FAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
