A documentary on Vietnam’s history is being screened at 55 cinemas in France, according to the French newspaper - Le Monde.
The film, L’Empire du Milieu du Sud (The Empire of Mid-South), is made at a cost of 3 million EUR by well-known French directors Jacques Perrin and Eric Deroo. It outlines the situation of a France-dominated Indochina and Vietnam’s resistance wars for independence.
