hmm..The name of the documentary is fundamentally incorrect. Pakistan does'nt occupy an inch of the Siachen glacier which is under Indian control. Indian soldiers occupy the dominating features since 1984.
Nevertheless - soldiers from both sides have been extremely brave to battle their enemy and the elements in the past 25 years. Indian soldiers are full of praise for Pak soldiers who despite manning the lower ridges defend their area with utmost dedication.
