It is the emblem of Pak-China friendship, also known as the 'Friendship Highway'," the Facebook post read. "This herculean task witnessed numerous sacrifices, so much so that a famous proverb 'a life lost every kilometre of the road' came into being.

"KKH is the dream project of nation, achieved through sacrifices rendered by 813 Pakistanis embracing martyrdom during the manifestation phase. These martyrs include 567 military and 246 civilians. 982 Pakistanis also suffered major injuries during the process.

"To honour and recall the historical predicament, the documentary film Where Men and Mountains Meet has been produced to showcase [the] construction and completion of the project. The KKH documentary is testament to [the] unprecedented sacrifices by FWO in particular, and [the] Pakistani nation in general."

The trailer for the film features aerial views of the Karakoram Mountains and interviews with several men, including well-known Urdu writer Mustansar Hussain Tarrar.
