“Beyond the Heights” tells the true story of the first Pakistani and youngest female mountaineer to climb Mount Everest – at the age of 22. Overcoming the towers of hardships, Samina Baig, coming from the small village Shimshal in the heart of the Karakorum mountain range, touches new horizons with her will, power and motivation. The story also covers the relationship of brother and sister and her brother’s support fulfilling his sister’s dream. Her summit of Everest also sets an extraordinary example for women empowerment in Pakistan and in Muslim countries.
