Iconic big mountains are most often associated with big expeditions, big objectives and big dreams. But what about those whose lives are inseparably intertwined with them?
Sadpara is a journey through the heart of Pakistan’s mountains, following the origin of a name that eventually becomes a population. Exploring the bond that unites them with the high lands, what emerges is the simple routine of a small community with a strong and pristine character, set against the immensity of the Karakoram landscape.
