Overview

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, they receive minimal pay for their efforts. Against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, this doc explores the courage and sacrifice of the men who call the 'Savage Mountain' their home.

    A review by Peter McGinn

    Written by Peter McGinn on Sun Apr 05 2020
    This is a pretty good documentary. It is refreshing to get the perspective from people other than the western climbers, and other than the sherpas as far as that goes, since this follows porters from Pakistan rather than the higher paid sherpas of Tibet. So it involves trekking rather than the climbing itself. So we hear about the inequities of the porters employment, the lower pay scales as I already mentioned, the sometimes unfair expectation that they carry much more weight than what is considered standard without any increase in pay, and of course the danger inherent in their occupation....
