The Barzuna Council

The Barzuna Council is a 2008 political thriller/drama film, directed by Milton de Arien. The film was produced and sponsored by the De Arien conglomerate, including the De Arien family. The company Freedom Press in Lovia was also involved in (the more technical side of) production. The film is largely based on real events: the (not very successful) efforts of the Cape Cross Parish government and the council of Brezonde to set up a special Barzuna representative body in the council, and the various incidences of corruption in the process.

The film was quite well-received (including at the Rosetown Film Festival).
