VTV special: 'Seeds of happiness'

The special documentary 'Seeds of Happiness' about the journey of sowing Vietnamese rice seedlings in Cuba will air at 8:10 p.m. on September 2 on VTV1.

The documentary Seeds of Happiness recreates the journey of Vietnam transferring special rice varieties, including CT16 rice, to Cuba - a brotherly country that has always stood side by side with Vietnam in the most difficult times. Not only is it an agricultural activity, it is also a living proof of a rare friendship: Vietnam once received sharing from Cuba during the war years and today, the rice seeds themselves have become a bridge bringing faith, prosperity and happiness to the Cuban people.

This is one of the important directions of the Party and State leaders to accompany Cuba in ensuring food security in the current challenging period, with Vietnamese rice varieties directly grown by the people of the two countries on Cuban soil.

Through the story of rice grains, the film depicts Vietnam as not only one of the world's leading rice exporting countries, but also a nation rich in compassion, ready to share knowledge and experience to build a prosperous and happy life with international friends.

Mr. Jorge Legañoa Alonso, Vice President of the Cuban Institute of Information and Social Communications, emphasized: "The simultaneous broadcast of VTV's special documentary by Cuban National Television is not only a communication activity, but also a vivid demonstration of the loyal and pure relationship between the two peoples. This is a precious spiritual gift on the occasion of the great anniversary of the Vietnamese people."

With its direct, emotional cinematic storytelling, and elaborate investment in images, music and materials, Seeds of Happiness promises to bring the audience an emotional, humane and meaningful experience on this year's National Day.

Mr. Nguyen Duc De, director of VTV special Seeds of Happiness , said that the film does not have commentary, but tells the story through images, sounds and emotions. Each grain of rice, each smile on the farmer's face is a simple but profound message. Diplomacy sometimes does not need a stage, only trust and sincere sharing.
