1960 Propaganda Film
In 1960, the government issued a propaganda film, Reconstituirea, to be viewed only by Communist Party members, which reconstructed the way in which the heist had allegedly been planned and carried out. Members of the Ioanid Gang acted out their own roles, possibly having been told that their death sentences would be commuted in return.

Famous quotes containing the words propaganda and/or film:
“The best propaganda omits rather than invents.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
