The Zaan Region
Partly staged long documentary about the Zaan region of North Holland. As far back as the 17th century, the local council developed the area with an eye towards labour and people, and the mills were the machines that enabled productivity and prosperity. Since that time, the Zaan has developed into an important industrial centre. In this nearly two-hour film, we see most of the region’s cities and towns, as well as its key industries.
