Film "Human Trafficking" sets a Vietnam Record
"Human Trafficking Camp" is a film project by Choi Entertainment. The movie explores modern social issues through the stories of individuals pushed into dire circumstances and their journey to survive.
The film recently held its official premiere in Ho Chi Minh City. Notably, during the event, the film was awarded a Vietnam Record Certificate by the Vietnam Records Organization for: "Human Trafficking Camp - A modern social feature film with large-scale scenes, featuring the highest number of cast and crew members (over 10,000 people)."
"Human Trafficking Camp" was produced over approximately five years—a relatively long period for a domestic commercial film project. The first three years were dedicated to script development, while the following two years focused on filming and post-production. Director Toni Duong Bao Anh and Executive Producer, screenwriter, and editor Meo Bich Trang played key roles in the development and completion of the work.
According to the production team, the extended production time was due to the film's requirements for numerous locations, large-scale crowd scenes, and complex action sequences. The crew also had to film in challenging terrains and locations that demanded high production standards. A total of over 10,000 cast and crew members were mobilized throughout the project across various production stages and large-scale scenes.
Director Toni Duong Bao Anh stated that the scale of these large scenes required rigorous organization, from coordinating actors, makeup, and costumes to action direction. With over 20 years of experience as a stunt performer and fight choreographer, including work in the Bollywood film industry (India), the director and his team developed organizational plans to ensure that scenes involving hundreds of people maintained their pace and served the narrative.
The film features a diverse cast across generations, including People's Artist Nhu Quynh, Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu, Quach Ngoc Ngoan, Quach Ngoc Tuyen, Steven Nguyen, Vo Thanh Tam, La Thanh, Khanh My, Pong Chuan, Tung Mint, and many other young artists and actors.
People's Artist Nhu Quynh shared that she was impressed by the character "Mother Nhan" as soon as she read the script and quickly accepted the role. This character is the only one in the human trafficking camp with a proper name, while the others are identified by numbers. "Human Trafficking Camp" officially opens in theaters nationwide on September 25, distributed by Galaxy Studio.
