During our research for this trip, we came across, over and over again, that drones were strictly forbidden in Morocco, and often confiscated at customs on entry. After a lot of discussion, we decided to be safe and practical and not bring it – and take the ban as a creative challenge. Can we make a video just as good without underwater, aerials, gopro and everything else that went into the last one? So we focused on just simple, great, cinematography, and I’m so proud of what we’ve done.
