Synopsis:
********
Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
2 E! ^7 Q7 g3 ]4 ?' zPacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
4 n& P+ ~4 s& |' v. ?. ]conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
5 ~& h: M( l' U$ N4 Ginternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
4 x6 s" ]7 `9 qIain 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.

' ?: r; d  d1 mThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
own story and captures the struggles, the strength and the humor of a people
  o4 O+ [7 e, t1 \4 Twho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV
$ u' V, J4 h. u; X4 f) o' u* H: ~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

% [4 D2 s' L  a/ ~% }5 n  tAccording 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

hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.

( O/ x6 J7 C. q7 u, N* zso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
