Jemgum - Life On The Edge Of Germany
This film is a documentation covering one year of life in the small muncipality of Jemgum with its folkloristic and touristic attractions as well as historic and geographic characteristics. Robbed of their commercial rights by the Hanseatic League and annexed by Friedrich the Great in 1744, the East Frisians are now losing their own language for the second time in their history - first the Frisian and then the Lower Saxony Dialect. This film was made to show that the folk behind the dykes live their lives to the full and it demonstrates the colourful tone of the Plattdeutsche language spoken by the villagers in this community

The Battle at the Wild Acres ancient East Frisian Ghost Story legend CGI Animation
This is not a professional animation, but just tinkered by an old lady who loves to experiment with these media and how they help to tell stories in a new way. Please bear with me and my bumpy accent, as I´m not a native speaker, but wanted to make these old East-Frisian legends also available for those who don´t understand German. So I did my best to try and compose an English translation for you. Hope, it gives you fun! PS: All the footage has been taken at the original places, just few days ago.

The Frisian Enigma Ep I 2 4 Prelude
I wrote the Frisian Enigma over a period of seven years. Basically what I'm proposing is that the people living in England today aren't Anglo-Saxons and for that matter they don't speak an Anglo-Saxon language. English is originally a Frisian language. I have posted five of the chapters on the academia.edu and have had nearly a thousand hits. I am not promoting the book but trying to get my theories across for greater appreciation.

SUMMARY
=======
The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland [ˈneːdərlɑnt] ( listen)) is a country located mainly in Northwestern Europe. Together with three island territories in the Caribbean (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), it forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The European portion of the Netherlands consists of twelve provinces and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, sharing maritime borders in the North Sea with Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The five largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht (forming the Randstad megalopolis) and Eindhoven (leading the Brabantse Stedenrij). Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the seat of the States General, Cabinet and Supreme Court. The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and the world's largest outside Asia.'Netherlands' literally means 'lower countries', referring to its low land and flat geography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above sea level. Most of the areas below sea level are the result of land reclamation beginning in the 16th century, resulting in large areas known as polders that amount to nearly 17% of the country's territory. With a population of 17.25 million living within a total area of roughly 41,500 square kilometres (16,000 sq mi), of which the land area is 33,700 square kilometres (13,000 sq mi), the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Nevertheless, it is the world's second-largest exporter of food and agricultural products after the United States, owing to its fertile soil, mild climate, and intensive agriculture.The Netherlands was the third country in the world to have representative government, and has been administered as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy since 1848, with a unitary structure. A policy of pillarisation historically segregated society and institutions between Catholics, Calvinists and socialists, but Dutch society is today one of the most cosmopolitan in the world. The country has a long history of social tolerance and is generally regarded as a liberal country, having legalised abortion, prostitution, and euthanasia, while maintaining a progressive drug policy. The Netherlands abolished the death penalty in 1870, allowed women's suffrage in 1917, and became the world's first country to legalise same-sex marriage in 2001.
The Netherlands is a founding member of the EU, Eurozone, G10, NATO, OECD, and WTO, as well as a part of the Schengen Area and the trilateral Benelux Union. It hosts several intergovernmental organizations and international courts, many of which are centered in The Hague, which is consequently dubbed 'the world's legal capital.' Its mixed-market advanced economy had the thirteenth-highest per capita income globally. One of the world's most prosperous countries, the Netherlands ranks among the highest in international indexes of press freedom, economic freedom, human development, and quality of life. Its strong performance is owed in large part to a generous welfare state that provides universal healthcare, public education and infrastructure, and a range of social benefits. It is also known for its polder model, the country's leading socioeconomic model based on consensus decision-making.
