Om den här filmen

K2 is widely seen as the world's harshest mountain. Yet many indigenous porters make a living in its extreme conditions, carrying provisions for foreign climbing expeditions. Often risking their lives with only rudimentary equipment, they receive minimal pay for their efforts. Against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, this cinematic doc explores the everyday courage and sacrifice of the men who call the 'Savage Mountain' their home. A beautifully composed film, portraying the indigenous porters who for decades have facilitated the ascent of the Earth's second-highest mountain.

I was saddened to see how much gear a porter can carry, the basic clothing and supplies they use. Their spirit is strong and are determined to provide for their families.

Stories of Amazing people who do the hard work , Makes you appreciate life as these people don't even have basic necessity ........ Great View of K2 and surrounding area... Specially love the Italian man who helped these guys.. WOW

It's time we gave credit to the porters, the unsung heroes! The salt of the earth, unassuming, self effacing, and courageous!
