Flore Vasseur
Author and film maker @
An entrepreneur in New York at the age of 24, Flore Vasseur lived through the Internet bubble, September 11, and a capitalist system that was cracking on all sides. Since then, she has been writing (books, articles, documentaries) to understand the end of one world and the emergence of another.
With her four frighteningly lucid novels, she attacks the grip of finance and the madness of a world based on technology. She questions our relationship to power, the elite in panic mode and asks the question: who governs?
In order to answer this question, she undertakes a long-term project on the trail of rights defenders and whistleblowers. In Moscow, she made MEETING SNOWDEN about the former NSA contractor. Her book, WHAT REMAINS OF OUR DREAMS, is an investigative novel about the little-known, real-life story of Aaron Swartz, the child prodigy of code who wanted to be free, persecuted by the Obama administration. BIGGER THAN US, produced with Marion Cotillard and Denis Carot, is his first documentary film. Basically, his work deals with the question of free will, commitment and courage. The desire to live and be worthy.
