Documentary series follows legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail
The 120-part series, Tro
Lai Truong Son Huyen Thoai (Returning to the Legendary Truong Son
Trail), helps young people understand the strategic reinforcements made
on the Truong Son Trail for the front line in the great resistance war.
The film focuses on the sacrifices of young
soldiers on the Truong Son Trail, the strategic road through jungles for
supplying and transporting weapons, goods, food, and military supplies
from the north to the south.
Produced by HTV's
Television Film Studio (TFS), the film's first part aired on HTV9 last
year after four years of filming. It quickly made waves among viewers,
particularly students.
"Audiences can see Truong
Son soldiers' love for the country and its people come alive again
through the talks by veteran revolutionaries and researchers highlighted
in our film," said Viet Binh, the film's director.
Binh and his three cameramen spent days travelling 5,000km and working
at many of the spots where soldiers worked, including Central Highland
provinces like Gia Lai, Lam Dong, Kon Tum and Dak Lak. They also visited
central provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Nghe An, where fierce
battles occurred.
"The use of live footage and
detailed reports help the audience gain a deeper understanding of the
country's greatest victories," said Binh.
The
film's highlights include beautiful landscapes and scenes of daily life,
including remote villages and local activities. The film is broadcast
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 10.30pm on HTV7.-VNA
