GUTS
a female expedition through Africa
Now touring international film festivals.
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 France 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.

Expeditions & Adventure Travel
I grew up in my family’s expedition and adventure travel agency, AVVENTURASPORT, surrounded by paragliders, kayaks, and listening to stories of remote destinations. This is where I took my first steps into the adventure world, learning to love the unknown and discovering new places. I led my first expedition at 14—it was barely legal—and since then, I have never stopped exploring, searching, and taking people into the wildest areas of our beautiful planet. From Kyrgyzstan to the Kalahari, I have crafted the perfect adventures for companies and solo explorers around the world.
About me
About me
Born in the Italian Alps, I grew up between mountains and rivers, guided by curiosity, poetry, and salt wind. Today I live by the ocean in Biarritz, where I surf, write, and listen to the tides as they speak of change.
I am a filmmaker and writer, and my work explores the fragile dialogue between humans and nature: from glaciers to coral reefs, from myths to science. Through film, writing, and drawing, I seek to honour the beauty of a living world we must protect together.
Before dedicating myself fully to creative work, I was a television reporter for Rete Quattro (Mediaset). My journalistic journey took me across continents, amplifying the voices of women, Indigenous communities, and scientists on the frontlines of environmental and social change. This foundation still shapes my visual language today rooted in observation, empathy, and a deep commitment to the living world.
