HCM CITY —  A documentary film on Vietnamese seas and islands produced by HCM City Television Film Studio (TFS) will air next month.

Đảo Khát (Life in Islands) features famous islands of the coastal provinces Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, Khánh Hòa, Kiên Giang and Cà Mau.

The history, culture and lifestyle of local people are highlighted as well as the economy and social issues which affect the lives of residents in fishing villages. 

“Our film will provide audiences, particularly young people, information about the country’s seas and islands,” Lý Quang Trung, director of the TFS, said.

TFS is providing both human resources and finance to produce TV programmes focusing on Vietnamese seas, islands and farming communities. 

“TFS staff has worked with its partners in southern provinces to produce TV programmes which feature traditional culture and lifestyle, and tourist destinations in the coastal region,” he said.  

TFS will release three TV shows, Sóng Mồ Côi (Alone Waves), Rừng Thiêng (Sacred Forest) and Đảo Hoang (Deserted Islands), which portray the daily life of farmers living on islands.

These shows feature difficulties in life and work that poor farmers and children face today.

“Our filming staff has travelled to remote areas of Cà Mau and Đồng Tháp to capture interesting scenes of rural life. These films will be completed later this year and will be sold to seven TV stations in the region, including Vĩnh Long Television and Bình Dương Television,” Trung said.

The previous shows Ra Khơi (Setting Sail) and Thời Sự  Nông Nghiệp (Agricultural News) are popular among the rural community.

Ra Khơi on HTV9 channel every Friday has became a forum for farmers to discuss their agricultural successes and problems.

The 20-minute programme has five segments, including the latest information about farming and opportunities and challenges during Việt Nam’s integration in the global economy.

It features personalities who have achieved farming success and are selling their produce at home and abroad.

Thời Sự Nông Nghiệp is broadcast for 20 minutes every weekend on HTV9. The show offers the latest information and reports to help southern farmers to run their businesses.

The producers invited dozens of experienced businesspeople and farm owners to participate in the programme.

Both shows, Ra Khơi and Thời Sự Nông Nghiệp, have received thousands of letters each month from viewers in the region.

The documentary, Đảo Khát, will air every Monday and Friday at 9pm starting in August. — VNS
