What happens

Wan Pipel (English: One People) is a 1976 Surinamese-Dutch drama film directed by Pim de la Parra. The screenplay was written by Rudi Kross and Lou Lichtveld. The leading roles are played by Borger Breeveld, Diana Gangaram Panday, and Willeke van Ammelrooy. The film, produced by Wim Verstappen, was the first Surinamese film after independence. The budget was significantly exceeded, and projected visitor numbers fell far short of expectations. As a result, the dispute between 'Pim and Wim' was seen as the final blow for "Scorpio Films."
