Synopsis:
********
$ `& A' Z# g6 ?' D% gSet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
: h6 @$ {6 U, k/ x' y- I# T' y$ PPacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
9 ?" G( F4 V7 aof 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:
; @* ?- g7 I2 z9 U* bthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
& F1 n' g8 y& V3 c. MIain 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

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

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