) t& ?! m. v+ N2 }Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
6 [% i1 q4 G5 W( A; {8 y3 L3 \7 QPacific, "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
- j  d8 a  r, ], F$ hinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
: q9 D, l# H- y2 l' nthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
# q# f+ T# G5 m8 CIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
) W6 N5 D' e+ [1 n. [island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

) b& W+ a7 \) C" d0 D) Q5 q* VThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
9 Y$ Y8 E/ a0 V$ ~  {* _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
6 [7 P# A. C: ?, I2 jscreens 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
! n6 D  x7 p+ X! o$ T/ Q, i1 G& Gsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
- M" t7 U% Z+ W5 j; Uprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
- x9 q( M  z+ }2 T& M# J" M9 zhands 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,
2 z6 c& j+ I; T8 {% d& Z7 F# ?- Yso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
