Young Russian photographer Georgy Tarasov’s film is a trip through a country once ravaged by war.
No longer. That was 40 years ago.
In The Road Story Vietnam, Daniil Tarasov, Georgy’s brother, takes viewers on an adventure through many parts of Vietnam: from cities to the countryside, by train, bicycle, motorbike, rowboat, and jumping under a waterfall.
Georgy, 23, is a world traveler. He enjoys sharing his love of travel from behind the camera lens. Traveling through the country in a 45-day long trip, it took him nearly two months to finish the video after returned to Moscow.
He said they faced several difficulties while traveling and making the video, but the spirit of adventure and wanderlust encouraged them to continue.
“It was an amazing adventure. The whole trip was remembered as a great trip,” Georgy said, “And Ha Long Bay was among the most awesome places we have ever visited.”
“I have lots of feelings about Vietnam that I tried to pass on in my video,” Georgy said. “Vietnam is a wonderful place. It really is all beautiful. But I cannot tell you which is more beautiful– the northern or southern regions of Vietnam,” he wisely noted.
One of the things the Tarasov brothers loved most about Vietnam was the children. “They are always happy, always smiling, and I love that,” Georgy said. He described the Vietnamese people as simply being “wonderful” and treating them well along their journey.
Since being posted on Vimeo last week, The Road Story Vietnam has been praised by many for its beautiful scenes and music, as well as capturing the overall spirit of traveling.
Georgy said he and his brother will return to Vietnam someday. But next time, they will take the trip solely by motorbike exploring the country– being sure to have plenty of camera batteries and visas in proper order before they go.
