Documentary Triumphant Autumn: Bridge of Memory

Not only a documentary film, Triumphant Autumn is also a historical epic in images, a bridge between national memory and the present, between previous generations and today's people.

Precious archival images appear in the film.

On the afternoon of August 29, Ho Chi Minh City Television Film Studio (TFS) held a premiere of the documentary Triumphant Autumn . The work was made to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).

The film not only recreates heroic historical pages through rare documents and living witnesses, but also conveys a sacred message: independence and freedom are eternal aspirations, the achievements of countless generations who have fallen, so that the country can have peace and prosperity as it does today.

Historical witnesses appearing in the film were present at the exchange.

Triumphant Autumn was built with a solemn but also emotional spirit, so that the audience, especially the young generation, have the opportunity to look back on the 30-year journey from the first Independence Day in 1945 to the day of national reunification in 1975.

The film opens with images of the autumn of 1945, when Ba Dinh Square echoed with the Declaration of Independence by President Ho Chi Minh. The image of the capital's people bursting into joy at being freed from slavery became an immortal symbol. That was the autumn of birth, affirming national sovereignty , opening a new era for the Vietnamese people.

From that foundation, the film leads the audience through three decades of arduous but heroic resistance, to the autumn of 1975 - the autumn of triumph, when the country was completely independent, the mountains and rivers were united. Independence Day on September 2, 1975 in Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City is depicted through rare documentary footage, stories of living witnesses, recreating the blooming atmosphere: flags and flowers filled the sky, joy spread throughout the streets, the hearts of the entire nation beat together with the rhythm of freedom.

The film not only tells the story through images and commentary, but also through the emotional memories of the people who witnessed that historic day. From the elderly who experienced the August Revolution, to the young people who joined the crowd on the first independence day of the unified country, all contributed to creating a “collective memory” for future generations to remember forever.

Besides the documentary element, Triumphant Autumn also exploits the depth of value: independence is not an ending point, but the beginning of a journey of construction and development.

In particular, the film focuses on the role of today's young generation - the ones who inherit the fruits of peace, but are also the pioneers in creating the future. Through images of young people sharing their thoughts and feelings about Independence Day, the film affirms that the value of independence and freedom is never old, it continues to be written with the spirit of responsibility, creativity and dedication of the new generation.
