/ N4 T" T  z' S1 r5 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
5 }6 a; s5 I" G% |. yconflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
4 T- t$ U6 J. q# o& Z4 v) pisland and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

! v9 s$ B; \# W$ H, x" v$ E+ I, `5 p8 xThis beautifully shot film allows the Bougainvillean people to tell their
3 d( T/ u8 `/ b/ [( Sown 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
5 K1 O$ y6 g* \+ [screens are filled with images from the interventions in Iraq and
  S5 j! Q/ e" t" V* lAfghanistan, the success story of the Bougainville peace process seems
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
8 ~1 r5 `9 b: u5 |: Y0 \success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole
& m7 r9 Y) H4 j+ jprocess, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the
1 k/ ]8 l4 u& W+ Y9 lhands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
  Y" Z2 E4 Q$ b# ?0 oAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
