In August 2023, a routine school commute in northern Pakistan turns terrifying when a cable car's wire snaps, leaving eight passengers – including six schoolboys – dangling 900 feet above a ravine in the remote Himalayan foothills. With no margin for error and a cable that could fail at any moment, an unlikely alliance of rescuers must improvise under intense public scrutiny, racing against an invisible clock before disaster strikes live on television.
Through a powerful blend of firsthand interviews with survivors and their families, raw cell phone and drone footage, and carefully staged recreations, this unforgettable documentary thriller not only captures the terror of a single moment in this pulse-pounding account but also sheds light on issues of class, education, and who the community's heroes are in a crisis.
UK/Pakistan/USA, 2026, 78 min, Directed by Mohammed Ali Naqvi, In English, Urdu, and Pashtu with English subtitles
“An edge-of-your-seat true rescue story with a razor-edged social sting. A documentary that plays like a real-life thriller.”
– Louisa Moore, SCREEN ZEALOTS
