La espalda del dragón is a documentary about alpinism that takes place in Broad Peak. It was directed by Sebastián Álvaro in 2009 and produced by RTVE.

In 2004, on the 50th anniversary of the first K2 ascent, a Catalan expedition led by Òscar Cadiach reached the summit of this 28,250-foot mountain by its toughest route: 'The Magic Line', only climbed once until then. The adventure ended successfully, but it was plagued with difficulties and tragedy along the way. This documentary illustrates the most human side of the mountaineering spirit. The film, produced by the Catalan Television, was finalist at Banff, Kendal, Trento and many other Festivals in 2005 and won the Grand Prize at Torello 2005.
