Breaking Bows and Arrows.(Video Review)
This documentary offers a gripping and powerful picture of the traditional processes that have helped build peace in Bougainville after the civil war.
It provides a wonderful complement to the articles in this edition of Restorative Justice Online because it allows the viewer to watch the processes described and explored in those articles.

Another film on the same subject, following Australian singer Fred Smith in the last three weeks of the Bougainville peace monitoring group. Fred’s contribution to the peace process was singing funny songs, and encouraging women to assert themselves in the cease-fire and weapons amnesty.
