Vietnamese breadmakers invented dragon fruit bread and widely shared the recipe with goodwill to rescue farmers who struggled to export their harvest; Vietnam as a nation opened arm to welcome home and protect overseas Vietnamese people. Such as made-in-Vietnam actions, beautifully embodying Vietnamese optimism, creativity and compassion. In amongst the abundance of bad news, threats, and tensions every day, these stories sparked hope, belief, and most of all, pride.
The disruptive idea instantly caught national attention and reached unprecedented engagement.

Brands across various industries such as Canifa, Boo, Grimm DC, Verus, Faslink, Minh Long, Thien Long, VinID, Admicro, and Shopee have adapted the submitted artworks to their products, devolving 10% revenue for the frontline.
With 20k pre-orders in less than one week, many more brands joining the movements, and an overwhelming response from the Vietnamese youth, Biti’s Hunter truly ignited a united movement of the nation.
