Director Nguyen Quang Dung said Southern Forest Land was inspired by the novel of the same name and the television series Southern Forest Land. The film changes the historical setting in the novel from 1945 to 1920-1930.

"If you watch the movie, you will see that Thien Dia Hoi is just a part describing a character line, along with that there are also other insurgent groups of Ba An or patriots like Mr. Bay who want to use literature and art. to touch people's hearts.
