Sharing with us about the recent achievement of Human Trafficking Camp, director Toni Duong Bao Anh expressed his joy and happiness. He extended his gratitude to the audience for their love, understanding, and support for the project.

“I am also grateful to the crew and the more than 700 actors who played victims for joining hands and contributing. 50 billion is just the beginning of a journey to spread positivity, the spirit of solidarity, and the message of humanity that the film conveys,” the director shared.

For his part, Quach Ngoc Tuyen stated that everyone will have a different perspective. When watching the footage on the big screen, he felt that his previous efforts were worth it. "I believe that the audience will not feel like they have wasted their time when going to the theater to watch the film," the actor confided.

Before creating a 'fever' at the Vietnamese box office, Human Trafficking Camp received good news when it was awarded a Vietnam Record Certificate by the Vietnam Records Organization for: “Human Trafficking Camp - A modern social-themed feature film with large-scale grand scenes, gathering the largest number of crew members and actors (over 10,000 people).” This is considered the first milestone for the work after 5 years of conceptualization and production.

After the first days of release, the Human Trafficking Camp crew continued to carry out promotional activities and meet directly with the audience. On the first day in Hanoi, Steven Nguyen and the cast brought 'sacks' of gifts to give to viewers. The image of the actors directly chatting and taking photos with the audience created a vibrant atmosphere. For the crew, this was also an opportunity to listen to direct reactions after the audience had spent 135 minutes watching the film.
