(Cinet)- “Road to Dien Bien” with 25 episode series reflects the strength of Vietnamese people’s war and love for the homeland, among people, comrades and families as well as the courage and fighting spirit of the Vietnamese people and army in the historic Dien Bien Phu victory.

“Road to Dien Bien” by director Bui Tuan Dung (scenario: Le Ngoc Minh – Qu Quang Thuy – Bui Tuan Dung) is the story from 1954 about a young man who left Ha Noi to fight on the frontline, where he met and fell in love with a beautiful civilian worker. Stories of patriotism, and a love between a man and a woman are all presented through this woeful and majestic love story.

“In my opinion, whether the movie is about war or not, it must express the ‘humanism’, which can create the value for the movies. In the Road to Dien Bien, the war has been used as a background for the love story. However, their love through the war is different in peace time, and they are bound together through a mutual love for their country,” Dung said.

The director also rejected the opinion saying his series is just a propaganda product.

“It doesn’t matter what the subject of the movie is, we always want to capture the audiences imagination. In the Road to Dien Bien, we have invested a lot of time and effort to develop the conflict between different characters and create impressive scenes.

“Our crew also focused on music and special effects – two other important elements that perfect a movie production,” he said.

Alongside experienced actor Hoang Hai, who also starred in Dung’s award-winning The Legend Makers, the upcoming Road to Dien Bien features talented actresses Huyen Trang and Diem Huong, and young actors Manh Truong and Quach Thong.

The crew includes famous cameramen Ly Thai Dung and Vu Quoc Tuan, special effects expert Phan Trong Bich, and designer Vu Anh Tu.

A production of the Viet Nam Film Studio, the series is scheduled to air on VTV1 from the April 28, 29 and May 1, 2.
