<P>Moscow, December 2016 Russian hints that the country could hand over Americas most wanted whistle blower as a favor to Donald Trump place Edward Snowden in even greater danger than before.</P>
<P>In December 2016, a secret meeting between global freedom & civil rights campaigners <A HREF="https://www.edwardsnowden.com/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Snowden</A>, <A HREF="https://birgitta.is/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Birgitta Jonsdottir</A> & <A HREF="http://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/10519/Lessig" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Larry Lessig</A> turns into a freewheeling discussion about the future of democracy. <BR>Birgitta Jonsdottir has been a member of Iceland's parliament since 2009. All her actions have been aimed at giving the people back their voice & opening up the parliamentary process & political decision-making. <BR>Larry Lessig is a Harvard law professor. He tirelessly denounces the influence of money in US politics & the way establishment elites collude to support each other against the public interest.</P>
<P>The three activists agreed to be filmed during an extraordinary conversation about their ongoing struggles the last bastions of democracy & the opportunities & choices still left to us. The questions they ask are fundamental. Can democracy be saved? What unites us? How can you tell when democracy has failed?</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P><STRONG>Speaker: Flore Vasseur</STRONG><BR>Flore Vasseur writes books (narrative fiction), portraits & stories for some major French daily, documentaries for Canal+ & Arte, scripts for TV series. Whatever the format, she works on the end of the world as we know it, the one to come & those who might make it happen. She has covered the ideas & initiatives of Larry Lessig, Birgitta Jonsdottir and, to a lesser extent, Edward Snowden for a couple of years. But this is the first time she gathers them in a single piece of work (and the same unit of time & space).</P>
