On the island of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea thousands of people were killed in a war of secession that grew from a local uprising against an Australian copper company.

BREAKING BOWS AND ARROWS documents the islanders' road to forgiveness and healing, a process governed by their own cultural tradition.
