A Dutch documentary, narrated by Gijs Scholten van Aschat, on freshwater life returning to the Netherlands’ cleaned waterways after decades of pollution.

Waves Beneath The Water is a Dutch documentary about the hidden underwater world of the Netherlands. Narrated by Gijs Scholten van Aschat, it looks at the freshwater life in the country’s ditches and waterways. The film contrasts the situation with roughly thirty years ago, when making an underwater film there was considered unthinkable: the polluted, murky water left little to see and much of the water was lifeless. Since then, the worst pollution has been tackled, and efforts to protect the environment are paying off. Rare inhabitants are returning, and clean water is again full of life. Directed by Arthur de Bruin, the film shows the underwater inhabitants and their habitat.
