On January 23, 2026, at the Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne, you can attend a screening of the film “Bigger than us”, followed by a discussion with writer and director Flore Vasseur. This documentary is an ode to the courage and foresight of the young people who are building tomorrow’s world. It’s also a refusal to give up, and a quest for an answer to the nagging question Flore Vasseur’s son once asked her: “What are you doing to stop the planet dying?

But who is Flore Vasseur?

Flore Vasseur has had several lives. After studying business in Paris, she worked in the luxury goods industry, then founded a marketing company in New York. Her first break came after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which she witnessed first-hand.

In a second life, she lived in Afghanistan for a year, then returned to France and began writing. She became interested in the world of finance, trading and whistle-blowing. She writes columns for Libération, France Culture and Le Monde.

In a third life, she embarks on documentary filmmaking for Canal+ and Arte. She directed her first documentary in 2017: “Meeting Snowden”. Bigger than us” will follow in 2021, and will be presented at the Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne on January 23, 2026.

In this film, but also in her latest book “Et maintenant, que faisons-nous?”, Flore Vasseur invites us to plunge into the heart of ourselves to find the joy and courage to act. Because resignation is not for her!
