Taming the Floods

This film delves into Jan Dijkstra's vision to transform a flood-prone area in Poland into a nature reserve. He envisions a landscape where nature can thrive without human interference, allowing wolves to roam free. However, the project raises significant questions about the impact on local inhabitants, which is highlighted through the narrative.

The film features a mix of scripted scenes and real-life interactions, incorporating local residents such as farmers and a priest into the storyline. This approach adds authenticity to the film, blurring the lines between documentary and dramatization. It offers viewers a compelling perspective on environmental issues and the complexities of land use.
