Beyond the heights
Mirza Ali (2015)
'Beyond the Heights' is the true, real-life story of Samina Baig, a young Pakistani girl who created history on May 19, 2013, when at the still tender age of 21 years, she became the first Pakistani woman to successfully ascent the highest peak on the Planet, Mt. Everest. Her achievement, remarkable as it is, assumes an even more superlative dimension, when seen in the light of her background and the challenges she faced, no less Gargantuan than those Everest itself presented. The documentary 'Beyond the Heights' captures Samina’s life and journey to the top of Everest in a spectacular, heartwarming way.- 2015

K2 and the invisible footmen
Iara Lee (2015)
Statistically, for every four climbers who summits K2, one of them will die, and the mountain has the second highest fatality rate among the world's highest peaks. 'It's the father of all mountains...one mistake and you're dead', warns one climber. As the climbing season only lasts from May through to August, porters must make enough money in these months to support themselves through the rest of the year. 'It's difficult to make ends meet... there is no other source of income', complains one: of his seven children, he can only afford to send two of them to school.- 2015
