After completing work on Season 17 of the documentary series Amouddouthe team is now preparing the episodes of Season 18,continuing a journey into Moroccan places whose rocks, waters, architecture, and voices still hold stories worth listening to and documenting.

This new season extends across the regions of Beni Mellal, Azilal, Zagora, and Chtouka Aït Baha,following a path that brings together mountains, desert, plains, and coastline. Through these varied landscapes, Amouddou continues Amouddou to trace the marks left by human presence, and to explore the signs shaped by nature, history, and memory; signs that call for a calm and attentive reading.

In Zagora, rock engravings, the sites of Foum Chenna, and the traces of Fezouata lead us back to distant times, when stone becomes an open document on the history of humans, animals, and climate. In the same desert setting, the geopark project emerges as a way to protect this geological and cultural heritage, while fostering a renewed awareness of the value of place.

In the Atlas Mountains, villages, passes, and mountain routes reveal a precise relationship between people and the highlands. There, Amouddou approaches Amouddou Magdaz, with its earthen architecture, terraced houses, collective granaries, and local building knowledge shaped by the demands of a harsh environment. The village appears as the lasting trace of human patience, built from the very materials of the earth.

Beyond the mountain, the narrative opens onto other faces of everyday memory. In this context, the season approaches a range of human stories that reflect personal choices, traditional crafts, and ways of life shaped by the specific character of place, where individual experiences meet local heritage and inherited knowledge.

The season also opens the file of water through retreating springs, wells whose waters have changed, and khettaras that once carried life into the oases. Behind these daily details lies a wider story of drought, water memory, and the relationship between Moroccans and a landscape that now calls for greater wisdom in management and protection.

Oral heritage is also present throughout this journey. In some regions, words still preserve what written documents do not, and rhythm continues to bind people to their community and memory. The season therefore pauses at traditions such as Ajmak,where poetry, song, and movement come together, revealing heritage as something still alive; something that must be listened to before it becomes a distant memory.

From Beni Mellal and Azilal to Zagora and Chtouka Aït Baha, Amouddou, in its eighteenth season, continues to listen to the land and its people: from rock engraving to earthen houses, from khettaras to poetry, and from mountain paths to the memory of the oases. A season currently in production, adding new pages of research, travel, and documentation to the long journey of the series.
