Elazzaoui stands out in trail running, celebrated for his achievements in the Golden Trail World Series and Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon. Known for his fierce competitive spirit, he combines performance with a desire for camaraderie among racers. 'The Nomad' film reveals Elazzaoui's Berber heritage and upbringing in a nomadic family in southern Morocco. It showcases his journey into running and his lifestyle split between Morocco and Switzerland, emphasizing his connection to his roots. The film’s artistry captures the beauty of the Sahara Desert, reflecting both his athletic drive and personal history.
"In the new film 'The Nomad,' we learn that Elazzaoui is much more than a fierce but warm competitor. We learn of his Berber heritage, how he comes from a traditionally nomadic family living at the edge of the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco."
"We experience his own nomadic spirit, which manifests as living for part of the year with his family in Morocco and part of the year in the mountains of Switzerland to cultivate his mountain running prowess."
"The film is aesthetically beautiful, playing with light, angles, motion, and the duality of the Sahara Desert's expanse and Elazzaoui's inner landscape."
