Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South

of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter

  _( L7 i$ U5 {international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter

island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

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

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the

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."
