"The Ship They Called The Zong" is a short film that accompanies a 2020 poem of that name by Liam Doyle and features a number of paintings, photographs and wood cuttings representing various aspects of the Transatlantic slave trade.

The Zong legal case is the main theme of the 2013 British period drama film Belle, directed by Amma Asante. 2007 abolition commemorations In 2007, a memorial stone was erected at Black River, Jamaica, near where Zong would have landed.
