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.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
