Karim's Footsteps

Documentary about Abdul Karim, the most famous porter of the Karakoram, born in Hushé, a small village in northern Pakistan where the only way to earn money to survive the harsh winters is to work as a mountain porter with the expeditions on the highest peaks in the country.

But his last, most ambitious and revolutionary project of all was to create the first women's mountaineering team in Baltistan.
