SOUNDBITE (English) Nicole Bakker, miller and director of De Hollandsche Molen: “So, I think it's very important to keep the 1,200 mills we still have. And a mill is like a car. It needs to run. It needs to move. Otherwise, it becomes wet and wrong. And you need a miller to make the mill move, to make the mill work.” 13. Mid of Bakker showing old blueprint of her windmill 14.

SOUNDBITE (English) Nicole Bakker, miller and director of De Hollandsche Molen: “The miller’s craft is on the list of UNESCO intangible heritage. So we want to preserve the craft of the miller, and to preserve the craft we need to preserve the mill. We need to preserve a good surrounding with wind and water for the mill.” 18. Various of Bakker ASSOCIATED PRESS Zaanse Schans, Netherlands - 11 February 2025 19. Pan on the windmills 20. Various of historic windmills 21. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Booij, miller: “You have to know everything about the mill but also the weather is very important. You have to know what you can expect from certain kinds of weather and the wind of course. Thunder is also a very dangerous thing for the millers because of the lightning.” 22. Various of Erik d'Ailly and Peter Booij operating windmill 23. SOUNDBITE (English) Erik d'Ailly, miller: “Most people don’t know that this profession still exists, and they are not aware that a mill has to be run by a miller and what the miller has to do and that it’s still possible to work or spend time on a mill. They are usually very interested.” 24. Mid of the windmill STORYLINE: A wintry gust of wind raises hopes that the giant sails of a centuries-old windmill near Amsterdam will start turning. On the mill's cutting floor, six blades briefly rise and fall, sawing into a rough-hewn plank. But the wind drops and the mill's sails and saws grind to a halt. Despite the stop-and-go nature of the work, the age-old craft of harnessing wind power to drain lowlands, saw lumber or grind grain is enjoying a renaissance in the Netherlands, a nation famous for the windmills dotting its landscape. Peter Booij and Erik d'Ailly are part of a record crop of 110 newly qualified millers.
