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
international community to send in a Peacekeeping force on one condition:
/ P! g0 j* B& o4 E7 lthey 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.

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

& T6 @; R, c9 ~# Z, `" ?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

Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
