What happens when women abandon rules, roles, and logic to follow their GUTS until the end of the road? Patrizia and Marie left everything behind and embarked on a five-month, 20,000 km off-road journey from Biarritz to Guinea-Bissau—with nothing but an old car, four surfboards, and a mission: to capture the stories of inspiring women redefining their place in society across Northwest Africa. What happened on that long and dusty road was pure magic. From the first female mountain guide of Morocco to the women’s rights activist in Nouakchott, or the young surf collective in Dakar, they all showed that when women dare to break free from conventions and listen to their own voice, a revolution begins—not just for them, but for their communities, their countries, and the world.
GUTS is a raw, empowering adventure by women for women. It’s an ode to freedom. It’s a hymn to that soft yet strong synergy that is created when women unite. It’s a call to embrace fears and dare to listen to your GUTS until the very end of the road.
