During the interwar period, ethnologist Dimitrie Gusti led a series of expeditions to various Romanian villages in which researchers from various fields would write monographs about particular aspects of those villages. The campaign reached its peak in Drăguș during the summer of 1929, when 89 researchers descended on the village. The event was recorded in a documentary film, Drăguș.[3]
