********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
( R9 A0 p& `. J+ |6 ZPacific, "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:

island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

( D1 B- I- @9 E" n% D$ |/ p( Y9 Wwho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
' e! J+ D0 Y5 T7 L2 uscreens 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
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
8 L  K# l/ L6 d2 ^- Xsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
8 u4 l2 k/ ]* Qprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
" G$ T9 ]" [& x8 nAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
