Synopsis:
********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South

$ b! C/ W/ r6 z  pof 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:
! W" Q- c- }% W. {% ?" D2 m2 Qthey 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

% [1 h  P# R$ _7 \9 G1 ^$ BThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their

4 z. C( M, G6 ]0 v0 o2 \9 LAfghanistan, 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!

5 D( f" \) _( F/ g' `) {. sAccording 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
9 f7 n% T/ l% J3 [: k' Tprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
9 J  H- @3 P- c# N! qAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
! X6 W; v7 K/ g7 c# C$ jso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
