( N1 F8 O- Q2 D3 @0 P; L. aPacific, "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

( Z# B* f9 H6 x7 s, A, rThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
, H" b0 T) v: \# X5 C4 k7 Eown 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

4 {: v3 x/ l  V( [) [/ PAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: 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
success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
* B5 c( L- ~  \9 r5 h9 s( ~# Dprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.

so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
