This documentary documents the construction of the Afsluitdijk, the massive hydraulic engineering project that sealed off the Zuiderzee from the North Sea. Filmed over several years, it focuses on the labor required to build the dike and the final closing of the last gap in 1929.
Zuiderzeewerken was directed by Joris Ivens.
Zuiderzeewerken runs for 26min, and was released in 1930.
