Synopsis:

Set on the remote Papua New Guinea Island of Bougainville in the South
- n! c  K/ ~, _( nPacific, "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
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
5 \; l& D2 q2 X+ `: Finternational community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
! N# _* i$ ^1 [they 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

Afghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems

  y* t/ Y* d" |3 xAccording 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
( K# b% v* k0 O+ Sprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
+ N( o+ t' m; kAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
