The 58-minute documentary produced in 1973 was copyrighted and stored by Cine-Archives (Movie Library of the French Communist Party). It reflects the revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh since his participation in the Tours Congress in 1920 and his journey to fight for the national independence of the country.
It will be also shown at museums and historical relics relating to President Ho Chi Minh.
Vice director of the State Records Management and Archives Department Nguyen Thi Nga said the documentary would be screened nationwide to commemorate the 129th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh and the 50th anniversary of the implementation of his will.
Since 2015, within the framework of the project on collecting precious and rare archives of Vietnam and about Vietnam, the National Achieves of Vietnam has collected from abroad and introduced six documentary films and two valuable books about President Ho Chi Minh as well as important moments of Vietnamese history./.
