Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years

conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:

Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
