Synopsis:
# F' H* H" b# v* A# O8 s! T********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
% O' k; U; w$ }  q; jPacific, "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
3 W' g9 L% ^* AIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
- M* W3 S5 {% K- O) \island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
8 k0 i" k( p+ n* `' rinternational peacekeeping operation.
& i! e9 p& M/ E# j- b) i
This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
: ~; A& P2 N) down 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

$ D8 {  ]/ k0 Z* QAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
( p7 c# e  C% {success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
4 I' X. R+ V# Y" Yhands 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,
  P& j+ t8 O$ h& ^, m6 d0 lso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
