********
0 l2 r  d  O! y' X& ]- JSet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
* e, L6 L& }7 {! o) \4 h# {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
2 w: m: l! x" _1 e$ f  i2 dinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
$ y2 d; ^# s' M( Z8 b$ s  ?2 jsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
& M1 i6 S- Z* H: ^8 s& kprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
4 `$ ]. p+ _, q$ Mhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
* V" b( W2 A6 R4 m. AAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
