Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
' [3 g0 e' g- x  j# U6 t  E1 S) K, \Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
+ A) q" \0 w, [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
4 T7 o8 P% Z, S1 a3 m4 H" jinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
. [5 S% s4 G5 I) c0 j8 h1 Gthey come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
! G" o1 O* \5 E5 q) V% V3 n# K4 r6 bisland 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
0 I# k9 `9 L1 {% J; a' Twho 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

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

# m/ q& b$ x7 X; i: M2 O8 u* pAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
