Summary content
In the middle of the economical depression, with governmental attempts to fight unemployment with public works Ivens made a film about the reclamation of the Zuiderzee near Amsterdam and the building of polders and dikes by unemployed workers. At that time these were the largest water works in the world. For this documentary Ivens used footage from his early film Zuiderzee and shot additional footage, to make a new version: New Earth. This film got a political message in the final sequence. Also the editing became more compact and stronger, sustained by the stirring music of German composer Hanns Eisler. After the part on the reclamation and the closing of the dyke the film continues with images of the economic crisis and the poverty among labourers. Ivens opposes this with the speculation on the market: those workers who helped to create new polders and land for agriculture welfare were fired after they finished the job, while grain is dumped at see to keep the prices up. The closing of the dyke is still one of the strongest editing sequences in the films of Joris Ivens.

电影简介：
在经济大萧条时代中期，荷兰政府为了解决失业问题，开始着急工人实施围填荷兰阿姆斯特丹的苏德海工程。这个项目是当时世界上最大的填海工程。伊文思于是用镜头记录下失业工人填海，造田，建堤的工作。伊文思在影片中使用了一些自己之前拍摄的作品《苏德海》的片段，也加了一些新拍摄的镜头，改编成新的纪录片，叫做《新的土地》。这部影片在最后的部分展现出了伊文思的政治立场。此外，德国作曲家Hanns Eisler为这部影片配上了激昂的音乐，使得整部影片更加紧凑。影片中，填海建堤的镜头过去之后，出现了经济大萧条以及工人们忍饥挨饿的镜头。伊文思通过自己的电影表现出他对社会的批评：这些工人为了农业发展贡献了自己的劳力，却在工程完成之后被解雇，而资本家却宁愿把粮食倒进海里抬高物价，也不愿意分给穷人。最后建堤的镜头至今仍是尤里斯伊文思电影里最具影响力度的片段。
