The final rehearsal of Under the Glorious Flag
Under the Glorious Flag is a political-artistic epic — a declaration of patriotism, the aspiration for peace, and the Vietnamese spirit throughout the nation’s history of building and defending the country, expressed through emotion and imagery. The program consists of three live broadcast locations representing the three regions of Vietnam: Hanoi, the capital, steeped in a thousand years of culture; Hue, the ancient capital and a treasure trove of traditional heritage; and Ho Chi Minh City, vibrant and youthful, and named after Uncle Ho. These three locations represent the pulse of one nation, from the peace of everyday life to the intensity of wartime, from a mother’s lullaby to a soldier’s oath on the battlefield, and to the unwavering faith under the glorious flag.
