Film: The Karakoram Anomaly focuses on Water and Warming in Northern Pakistan

Monitoring Desk 

This year, an Italian-born filmmaker, Niccolo Piazza, is preparing to release The Karakoram Anomaly, a documentary examining life, culture and heritage in Baltistan and the Hunza Valley, locations in Pakistan’s mountainous northern regions, against a broader backdrop of climate change. The Karakoram and Western Himalaya mountain ranges are part of this area, and it holds one of the largest stores of glacier water outside of the Poles; hence, the local community’s livelihoods may be directly affected by man-made changes to the environment.
