Synopsis:
- T0 G: R8 I( H7 f- i8 `********
3 }3 m# L0 Q1 @/ m! rSet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
0 M* m' |/ ]& |+ Q4 E, uof 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:
* f9 N$ |, s2 Z6 u. ]* ^: I$ pthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
- s2 l4 |6 f8 \9 Z. S" k0 yown 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
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
success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
3 G( `; j* m% i+ F# e3 Gprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
" Z( m4 E  C) O1 [hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.

so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
