Story

In 2023, Yasmine Idriss made history as the first Saudi and Arab woman to cycle across Iceland, a 1,400 km expedition through one of the planet’s most remote and elemental landscapes. More than an endurance feat, the journey marked the beginning of her storytelling work:
a filmed exploration on initiation and feminine strength through challenge.
