SYNOPSIS
In K2 AND THE INVISIBLE FOOTMEN, filmmaker iara lee and her team chronicle the lives of the indigenous porters who make possible the ascent of K2, the second highest mountain in the world. Amid breathtaking scenery, the film depicts the courage and everyday sacrifices of these porters. Through their interactions with international climbers, the local mountaineers provide a fresh look into the cultures and national traditions of Pakistan, a country typically portrayed in the foreign media as merely a land of conflict and sectarian strife.
