It Fryslân fan Frans Bromet

Short documentary, 1999, 43 min.

When writer-journalist Geert Mak published his book Hoe God verdween uit Jorwerd, this led to a real 'Jorwerd craze'. Through the eyes of an outsider, he described how the Frisian way of life, hundreds of years old, is coming to an end and how modern rural life is taking its place. It Fryslân fan... is a series of documentaries in which six filmmakers were commissioned to embellish Mak's theme about a changing Friesland. In personal films, they all give their views on Friesland. Filmmaker Frans Bromet wanted to make the changes to the countryside tangible through the changing role of the police. Bromet followed the local police for several days and nights as they faced drastic cuts as a result of budget reductions and reorganisation.
