Reuniting with the cast of the movie 'Dong Loc Junction' after nearly 3 decades

The film "Dong Loc Crossroads" is mentioned as a classic work, deeply carving out the image of female youth volunteers who became legends.

Dong Loc Crossroads is a 1997 Vietnamese film directed by Luu Trong Ninh and written by Nguyen Quang Vinh, produced by Vietnam Feature Film Studio.

The film tells the true story of the young female volunteers assigned to protect the vital route on the Ho Chi Minh Trail at Dong Loc Junction - a place known as the "death coordinate" because it suffered thousands of bombs from the US Air Force. In a bombing on July 24, 1968, all 10 of them sacrificed their lives, leaving behind an inconsolable pain for the nation.

At the time of its broadcast, the film quickly won over audiences and experts, winning a series of prestigious awards. The film received the Golden Lotus Award at the 12th Vietnam Film Festival in 1999 and the A Award from the Vietnam Cinema Association in 1997. The talented cast at that time such as Xuan Bac, Thuy Huong, Ngoc Dung... were the highlights of the film. After 28 years, the actors in the film all had their own turns in their careers.

People's Artist Thuy Huong is still devoted to art.
