The Vietnamese film market has just welcomed another notable project when the movie "Trafficking Camp" (English name: The Journey Of Heroes) released its first teaser, revealing a tense world surrounding cross-border human trafficking.
In less than a minute, the teaser put the audience into a suffocating atmosphere with a series of fire and explosion scenes, chases, riots and chaotic escapes inside a closed detention center. Not following the direction of storytelling with dialogue, the crew chose a rush of editing and large-scale action scenes to create a feeling of tension and curiosity.
The most notable point is that the setting is built like a "hell on earth" with iron cages stacked on top of each other, where people are deprived of freedom and have to fight to survive. According to the producer, the film gathers up to 700 actors, representing 700 different fates caught in the vortex of crime.
The teaser also reveals the central question of the work: "Resist to survive?". This is considered the message throughout the film, when the characters are forced to make life-and-death choices in a violent and unjust environment.
Besides the large production scale, the movie "Human Trafficking Camp" also gathers a multi-generational cast including People's Artist Nhu Quynh, Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu, Quach Ngoc Ngoan, Quach Ngoc Tuyen, Long Dien, Long Dep Trai, Khanh My and many young faces such as Steven Nguyen, Hoang Kim Ngoc, Danis Nguyen, Pong Chuan and AL Anh Thoai.
In the teaser, Steven Nguyen attracts attention with a different image compared to previous roles. The actor is expected to make a breakthrough when playing a gentle farmer who is accidentally caught up in tragedy. Meanwhile, Quach Ngoc Ngoan appears fleetingly but enough to create curiosity with his rugged appearance and mysterious eyes.
According to producer and author Meo Bich Trang, the project was conceived from 2022. The crew spent many years researching materials and conducting field surveys at home and abroad to realistically recreate the underworld of human trafficking.
With a topical, large-scale topic and a large cast, the movie "Human Trafficking Camp" is becoming one of the Vietnamese film projects that receives a lot of attention before being released in theaters on National Day September 2, 2026.
