Overview

World Premiere
Perched at 12,500 feet, Shandur Pass is one of the most remote places in Pakistan. There, in the shadow of enormous snow-capped mountains, you’ll find the country’s highest polo field, where each year, teams from rivaling valleys meet up for a centuries-old battle of freestyle polo. This beautifully shot film profiles player Sikander Ul Mulk, 61, who has been a team captain for over 20 years. “You’ve got to sacrifice your life for it, and it’s not easy,” he says of the game. But, he adds, “I couldn’t do anything else.”
