. Z- f+ ]: Z# L/ ?# V& l********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
" h, f6 l, x8 K. X9 A1 gPacific, "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:
) u' ]7 A0 t/ q( K% C# l3 jthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
7 \" A( F8 Z% ^( iisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international 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
* j, ?+ R& }$ W1 cscreens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
* C, k1 b5 }. Q: j, S( }9 b, |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!
; K4 R1 r. z- `0 H8 p. N! U& B1 s
According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
" B5 N) M5 E0 v& Usuccess 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
$ L3 n4 o/ m; \9 o3 L& h/ Ahands 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,
) q8 {7 i* o; a* `- [/ {% \& aso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
