Vajont – La diga del disonore<\/span><\/h5>\n

Vajont – La diga del disonore <\/a>is a 2001 movie by the Italian director Renzo Martinelli<\/a> that dramatises the events of the 1963 Vajont disaster<\/a>. \u00a0 It has not been widely shown outside of Italy.\u00a0 There is a good Wikipedia page in Italian about this movie<\/a>.\u00a0 The film tells the story of the tragedy, which killed over 2000 people, from both the perspective of the people of the towns that were swept away by the flood generated by the landslide, and those who were responsible for building and commissioning the dam that triggered the landslide.<\/p>\n

In the last week someone has posted to Youtube<\/a> the 5 minute section of the film in which the landslide occurs.\u00a0 It is both dramatic and terrifying, capturing not only the failure of the landslide but also the impact on the people who were killed.\u00a0 It is not easy view, but it is deeply moving.\u00a0 You should be able to view it below:<\/p>\n
