Documentaries and films featuring the bravery of Vietnamese naval forces during the war will be presented at a film festival commemorating 50 years of the Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea.
The one-week festival will start Oct. 18 at the Hanoi National Cinema Centre.
In addition to showings of old films featuring the soldiers and people who built the trail, the festival will also present newly produced films portraying current life on the country's islands and how the navy defends the nation's sea territory.
