conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
. L! o7 d; l1 O1 K- Town 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
screens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
' q  ~: N; W5 Q- `3 W0 p( j6 e6 \Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
