Watersnood in Noord-Holland

Summary

Reportage about the flooding around the Zuiderzee in 1916.

This film about the flooding around the Zuiderzee was probably used at the time to collect money for the victims. In shots taken from a moving boat, we see flooded farms, fields, and roads. The residents sail in small boats. The reportage ends with an appeal to the audience to help the victims of the disaster.

Prints and other visual means are also employed for the same aim.
