Part 3 of the documentary "Ho Chi Minh: The Road Ahead" has been released.

On the afternoon of June 3rd, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Ho Chi Minh City Television Film Studio (TFS) launched part 3 of the documentary series "Ho Chi Minh: The Road Ahead," recreating President Ho Chi Minh's journey in Germany and Italy.

The film premiere was attended by members of the film crew. Notably, more than 10 former students, representing hundreds of Vietnamese students who studied at Moritzburg and Maxim Gorki schools in Germany – special witnesses in the film – were also present at the ceremony.

At the program, former students reminisced about touching stories of their two encounters with President Ho Chi Minh: before being sent to Germany for studies and when President Ho Chi Minh personally visited them during his working trip to Germany. Notably, Mr. Nguyen Huu Cuong still keeps the woolen scarf that President Ho Chi Minh gave him during their meeting in Vietnam before his departure to Germany.

Holding that priceless gift in his hands, Mr. Nguyen Huu Cuong couldn't hold back his emotions. The former students, now all over 80 years old, sang the song "As if Uncle Ho were present on the day of great victory" with the same heartfelt emotions.

Continuing the thought process of the previous two parts, the documentary " Ho Chi Minh : The Road Ahead" Part 3 expands its historical scope to Germany and Italy – two less explored but significant locations in shedding light on President Ho Chi Minh's intellectual journey.

By combining historical documents, field surveys, and the perspectives of international scholars, the film not only recreates the remaining traces of Nguyen Ai Quoc in Europe but also clarifies the connection between his ideology and progressive movements around the world .

Through this, the film demonstrates the extraordinary influence of Ho Chi Minh's ideology beyond national borders, becoming a symbol of the aspiration for freedom and human dignity. A highlight of the episode is the discovery that 21 streets in Italy are named after Ho Chi Minh. This is not just a number, but also proof of the presence of Ho Chi Minh's image in the cultural and social life of Europe.

Volume 2, "Berlin 1957," focuses on President Ho Chi Minh's 1957 visit to the German Democratic Republic as head of state. One of the most emotionally impactful highlights is the story of the generation of Vietnamese students studying at Moritzburg and Maxim Gorki schools.

Memories of Uncle Ho's care and guidance have become a profound source of inspiration, reflecting his long-term vision for the younger generation in the cause of national development.

Concluding Part 3, the film fills in the missing pieces of the historical journey, while affirming the enduring value of Ho Chi Minh's ideology in the modern context – as a bridge between Vietnam and the international community on the foundation of peace and development.
