) z8 ~( }4 P0 G- _3 A, _7 ASet on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
Pacific, "Bougainville Sky" is the story of how music helped overcome years
. m5 D- c' c/ dof fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
" Y" e, U/ `/ M8 w1 C) j1 j5 Jconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
: d5 n( h! M+ T( g9 \* ointernational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
' T8 }; h9 j/ x, J9 jIain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed

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
/ G2 _. v3 }1 g: P& E8 H' f! @% ]8 H5 cwho brought themselves back from the chaos of war. At a time when our TV

Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the
$ ~( F0 e& a9 [1 msuccess 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
$ Z* I5 y2 e7 Y) Xhands 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,
0 K* @" T5 ~, n$ ^0 D. L1 i7 a& eso we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
