In The Media
After the initial world-wide reporting the tragedy became regarded as part of the price of economic growth in the 1950s and 1960s.
Interest was rejuvenated by a 1997 television program by Marco Paolini and Gabriele Vacis (it), "Il racconto del Vajont".
A 2001 movie Vajont, La diga del disonore ("Vajont, The dam of dishonour" or La Folie des hommes in France), starring Michel Serrault and Daniel Auteuil, was released.
It was studied in the 2008 documentary series Disasters of the Century.
