Synopsis:
********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
$ t7 x5 S) k  K& Oof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
* x5 G- t: I9 econflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
( T  F, H2 h4 c/ cinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
2 q  r9 C# b4 s9 A  Ithey 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
0 L9 F9 ?' o" z, _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
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
5 X8 v2 M. B9 |& NAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
  f: Y2 i6 }# I  D+ X/ r- _improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

2 M6 }6 }  O2 v2 x" fAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
6 A0 E) x3 X5 [4 vsuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
% l/ M: J; L& }# E) Nhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
7 S4 ^2 H/ I# ^0 gAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
; d/ o& n) ?7 J; Jso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
