Flore VASSEUR

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 written books, articles and
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?
Alongside this approach of deciphering and sometimes denouncing, she undertakes a long term work

on the trail of rights defenders and whistleblowers. In Moscow,
she made MEETING SNOWDEN about the former NSA contractor. Her latest 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 us to be free, persecuted by the Obama administration.

It is the logical continuation of his fifteen years of investigation and writing, BIGGER THAN US is his first
documentary film. Basically, his work deals with the question of free will, of
commitment and courage. The desire to live and to be worthy.
