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.

collect documents and films not only of France but also of Japan, China,
Australia, the US, Cuba, Russia and Poland for making this film.

including Vietnam.
