********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
3 j- s! n7 \. l3 w8 i! E: }4 u5 u: uPacific, "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:
8 K, r/ f6 h1 G: P/ P8 o# fthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
, P1 p' b; C; U8 H$ c8 g8 Gisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
3 s1 H, B2 J  u" uinternational peacekeeping operation.

This 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
2 @: W3 U4 d" _- zscreens 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
- p6 H) L, ^' ?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
  o+ _/ Q) U5 J# v% t" Jprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
5 I: S9 R- {, g* E( s! C7 B0 ~! Lhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
& \+ `" s. l3 K+ ^6 }) ~/ y" xso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
