Flore Vasseur is a novelist, film-maker and entrepreneur. A rich and varied career. She’s a woman who’s had several lives: from business studies in Paris, to founding a marketing company in New York, then a stint in Afghanistan, followed by writing novels and columns for the Libération newspaper, France Culture and Le Monde, and finally, making documentary films. His first film, “Meeting Snowden”, was released in 2017, followed by “Bigger than us” in 2021, which follows young people around the world who are committed to a more united and sustainable world.

Flore Vasseur uses words like blades: precise, clean, sharp. She makes no concessions to lucidity. She looks the world in the face. But in this lucidity, she also focuses on hope. She uses it as a weapon of power and resistance. She places this hope in young people who are questioning and searching. She places it at the heart of those who have not accepted the absurd. She places it in the quest for alignment and meaning.

A sincere and uncompromising interview that encourages you to take action!

Enjoy!
