Film crews and actors shared the difficulties in the process of building the image of President Ho Chi Minh in the process of assimilation of his awareness, ideology and revolutionary path. Accordingly, making a film about a historical figure is difficult, and that figure is the beloved President of the whole nation, so it is even more difficult. Actors such as artist Tien Hoi, actor Minh Duc ... had to read a lot of documents about Uncle Ho, even trying to go to the places Uncle Ho had visited to build for themselves the necessary knowledge foundation and emotional resources when playing the role.
