5 [: U# i6 k. W8 ^' ^1 G8 aThis 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
Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!
- z! n% w4 ]4 r2 i# X/ o- I
According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
4 C5 d4 s% v" ~& q  p5 Fprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
1 q7 N. k( }( a. B. D/ n+ Fhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
/ M! x: f8 D3 wso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
