Once a year, for two or three weeks, one of the harshest mountain lands on Earth turns entirely pink. Apricot and cherry trees bloom across stone terraces, while walls of ice and rock seven thousand meters high stand directly overhead. This is Hunza, in the far north of Pakistan, folded into the Karakoram — the steepest mountain range on the planet.
For most of history, almost nobody found this valley. It sat locked behind gorges so deep that sunlight reached the river for only a few hours a day. Then a road was blasted through the mountains, and the secret got out.
In this 4K travel documentary, we spend one full year in Hunza — from the first blossom of spring to the last snowfall of winter. Along the way: a fortress older than the printing press, a turquoise lake that did not exist twenty years ago, a language related to no other language on Earth, and one of the strangest myths of the twentieth century, finally taken apart.
