" @$ o/ _# S: W) z. oFilm screening followed by a Q & A session and live performance
by featured Australian songwriter Iain Campbell Smith

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
- t8 s: W( i- rof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
$ n7 {$ h. o# X7 r  H" q5 vconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
8 L! @" D* ]# f: I! ^  m" jinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
% W  d; Q+ w4 i4 O3 WIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

This beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
- v" x3 [% z9 K/ {4 cown 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

  M9 @/ q! r( F6 U- U, EAccording to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
0 [$ }+ j5 |7 u/ s0 T6 l0 x, U5 Ksuccess of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
* q' m: }; G7 Q$ Fprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
* B! Y* u, M; S* Y8 i1 c0 Yhands 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,
  r3 O; G% U8 ^1 C% uso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
