Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
$ W6 t8 U" I* R. t8 ^& NPacific, "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
' V, L0 S* G) lisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

9 n4 m/ I6 C& Y# l. l) K# K7 o, z4 kThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
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
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the

process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
