of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter

Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the

own 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
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
