Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
0 o% k3 [# A) K. m! g* c: i$ GPacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
! u6 s" ]  u! F* N7 h' N0 jof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
: }8 C8 N( Q' D; }+ v7 J" Uinternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
) X( T* S$ g( Kthey 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
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
( F- p1 F) F7 F# W: O0 rAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
$ k" D9 \! Y8 B6 p% s, Q1 W; ^improbable: an unarmed international intervention fostering local customs
and music to strengthen an indigenous-run peace process < and it worked!

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
% v* G; s9 W; Yprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
. H2 ?# u8 t2 P/ D9 ^Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
